Hi,

sqlplus / as sysdba
its showing as connected to "Idle instance."

When I type startup its showing below error

SQL> startup
ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters
ORA-01565: error in identifying file 'C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\serv
er\dbs/spfileXE.ora'

Check if under path "..../oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/dbs/

Go to "C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0/<<db home>>/dbs" path , check if  inittest.ora file is present or not.
If not then create the pfile from spfile and startup the database .

Sample to create the pfile:
SQL>  create pfile from spfile='C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0/<<db home>>/dbs/<<spfile>>.ora';
