Is it possible that some one changed the pfile to have a different name other than init<sid>.ora. We can always start database with startup pfile=<path>. Also try see if you can locate spfile, if you suspect someone has deleted pfile. You can always create pfile from spfile.

Also, you can locate the spfile path from sqlplus as show paramter spfile if you have dba access

SQL> show parameter pfile

NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
spfile string C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.1.0\DB_1\
DATABASE\SPFILEORCL.ORA

Be advised that if you have not migrated to Oracle 9i and above then you won't have spfile; only init.ora.
