Take the datafile offline and start the DB. Something like:

ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE ... OFFLINE DROP;

When done, drop the tablespace, recreate it and recreate the indexes.

Just to add to Frank's message, you of course would need to bring up the database in mount mode only, since you get the error message when you try to open/start it.

Hopefully, you only had indexes in that tablespace and know what all of them were. just becuase it's called INDEX01.dbf does not mean it didn't have tables in it.
