Unable to start database, Oracle 8.16 on Windows NT 4.0 Server.

Hey all,
I have an oracle database Oracle 8.1.6 installed on Windows NT 4.0 server. Recently I reorganized my hard disk to add more logical drives and in the process the operating system moved my existing logical drive (H:) to new drive (I:) and drive H: now represent my CD-ROM drive.

When I try to start oracle database using svrmgrl. I get the error messages as it tries to read a tablespace file from H:\oracle\retail.dbf, but as now the new H: drive represents local CD-ROM, so the process fails. Please note that I have the same required tablespace file available on drive I:\oracle\retail.dbf. Incidentally there is only one tablespace
(H:\oracle\retail.dbf) causing the problem and rest of the tablespaces are
on the other drive for which the drive number has not changed. As this tablespace is not very important to me, so I would like to start database somehow even if it is without this tablespace in question.

Any suggestion.
Thanks in advance.

Dharminder Kumar
