Cathy,
If you've moved the datafiles, then you need to tell the control file where they are. To do that, you need to do something like:
SVRMGR> STARTUP MOUNT (to open the control file) SVRMGR> ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE 'oranw732\database\sys1orcl.ora' TO
          'newpathname\sys1orcl.ora';           (do this for all your
database files)
  SVRMGR> ALTER DATABASE OPEN
HTH,
Brian
