During media failure (single disk crash) the online redo log is usually available so it is possible to recover up to the point of failure. Quite often ,Windows Oracle instance can be started in nomount mode (i.e. spfile is also available).
In this scenario all Control files are lost and it’s not multiplexed. In that case you have no option but to use a backup control file. The recovery needs to be performed from within RMAN, and requires that all logs (archived and current online logs) since the last backup are available. The logs are required because all datafiles must also be restored from backup. The database will then have to be recovered up to the time the control files went missing. This can only be done if all intervening logs are available.
In this example RMAN is not using catalog.
Try to start database and found following error.

RMAN-03002: failure of alter db command at 09/29/2009 10:42:28
ORA-01589: must use RESETLOGS or NORESETLOGS option for database open
-- Recovery completed. The database must be opened with RESETLOGS
-- because a backup control file was used. Can also use
-- "alter database open resetlogs" instead.
9. RMAN> alter database open resetlogs;
database opened
**** Several points are worth emphasizing.*****
1. Recovery using a backup controlfile should be done only if a current control file is
unavailable.
2. All datafiles must be restored from backup. This means the database will need to be
recovered using archived and online redo logs. These MUST be available for recovery until the time of failure.
3. As with any database recovery involving RESETLOGS, take a fresh backup immediately.
4. Technically the above is an example of complete recovery - since all committed
transactions were recovered. However, some references consider this to be incomplete
recovery because the database log sequence had to be reset.
After recovery using a backup controlfile, all temporary files associated with locallymanaged tablespaces are no longer available. You can check that this is so by querying the view V$TEMPFILE - no rows will be returned. Therefore tempfiles must be added (or recreated) before the database is made available for general use. In the case at hand, the tempfile already exists so we merely add it to the temporary tablespace. This can be done using SQLPlus or any tool of your choice:
SQL> alter tablespace temp add tempfile
'D:\oracle_data\datafiles\ORCL\TEMP01.DBF';
Tablespace altered.
