Sonja,
It is a complicated process to rename disk drives in the Oracle environment. Depending in the drives that Oracle uses and what are changes(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 can be a long and detailed process. These are just a few thoughts off the top of my head. Make notes and document everything to CYA. Good Luck

List hi!
Oracle 8.1.7 on WinNT.
Our Windows guys want to rename disc drives for some administration reasons.

I'm really in UNIX so I'm wondering could you give me some advices on this matter.
As far as I know, I have to recreate control files, with new drives. Is there anything else I should do? Some Windows stuff?

TIA,
Sonja
