Here's a cut from the alert log file:

What does ARC0: media recovery disabled mean?

I can't get archiving going. I have set the init file to do archiving and tried various things (ALTER SYSTEM/DATABASE server manager etc.):

From init.ora:
# Uncommenting the line below will cause automatic archiving if
archiving has
# been enabled using ALTER DATABASE ARCHIVELOG.

log_archive_start = true
log_archive_dest_1 = "location=F:\Oracle\oradata\hemmer\archive"
log_archive_format = "%%hemmer%%T%TS%S.ARC"
