Hi all,

I've found some additional info in sidALRT.LOG:

Fri Nov 02 12:22:40 2001
ALTER DATABASE MOUNT EXCLUSIVE
Fri Nov 02 12:22:45 2001

ORA-00202: controlfile: 'e:\Oracle\oradata\kristest\control01.ctl'
ORA-27041: unable to open file
OSD-04002: kan bestand niet openen
O/S-Error: (OS 2) The system cannot find the file specified.

Fri Nov 02 12:22:48 2001
ORA-205 signalled during: ALTER DATABASE MOUNT EXCLUSIVE... archiving is disabled

Hope this helps.

Tia,

Kris
