The path is correct. I could not understand. I did this many times... :(
And it corrupted my spfile, too (before that, I issued the same statement, and because it freezed I killed the sqlplus)...
Look:

SQL> create spfile from pfile='d:\dafne\admin\pfile\initdafne.ora';
create spfile from pfile='d:\dafne\admin\pfile\initdafne.ora'
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [kspsetpao1], [594], [581],[*],
[sessions], [2], [], []

?

Oh, the spfile is not corrupted it is no more...(I looked now...)
