Bad news... you have to invent a D: drive. There's no provision for restoring from a location you didn't actually backup to in the first place. If you had produced data file *copies*, a slightly different story, because you can "catalog" those (add them into RMAN's repository of information) wherever they are. It's one of the major issues with RMAN, I think.

You could always upgrade, of course. RMAN in 9i can move a backup... and if it moved it, it knows where it can find it. But with 8i: time to invest in a d: drive.
