Dataguard - create standby control file on same host

All

Here is my situation - winxp pro, oracle 10.2,

Goal: set up dataguard on a laptop for demo purposes, Primary files are on C:\... standby are on E:\...

actual db name = RECO, unique_primary_name=primRECO unique_standby_name=stbyRECO

I create the init.ora file with filename / log name convert, set up different DB_UNIQUE names, create service for the standby,

create standby control file '\....\....'; shutdown primary, copy all database files to E:\...

startup the primary, a everything is ok

startup mount pfile=.... the standby mounts, i place in managed recovery mode - no errors, then go to the primary and do archive log list, and get "online redo is not consistent with #...."

so the problem seems the standby control file is pointing to C:\.... and by starting the standby in managed recovery its corrupting the online redo log on the primary.

the question is how to create a control file for a standby on the same host (sorry if this was too long winded)

thanks

bob
