If by "rename disk drives" means changing the drive letter where Oracle is
installed. You may have to re-install Oracle since the regisry will now
have the wrong values.

>>>Ron,When you say log files in the init.ora I assume you
mean archive log files.(Mr. P. Dantic)Anyway, getting back to the
task at hand, a far easier way to do it is toissue a backup controlfile to
trace. Change the location of the files in thetrace file you have generated,
shutdown the DB, move the files to the newlocations you have specified in
the trace file. Run the trace file you haveedited and open your
DB.This is a very simplistic explanation of the process but it is
foolproof, itis widely documented on the web and in my experience works
everytime, I havehad to do this many times without any issues.BACK
IT UP FIRST, do the process and BACK IT UP AGAIN

ORACLE-LSonja,It is a complicated process to rename disk drives
in the Oracleenvironment. Depending in the drives that Oracle uses and
what arechanges(renamed) could really cause you frustration.The
initxxx.ora lists the current location of the controlfiles, logfiles,dump
dirs, trace dirs, etc.You will have to startup the database (if it can find
the controlfile) and"alter database rename .. to .." for each of the
effected datafiles. It canbe a long and detailed process. These are just a
few thoughts off the top ofmy head.Make notes and document everything to
CYA.Good LuckROR mª¿ªm>>> sonja.sehovic_at_pbz.hr 11/28/01
