    Hi Are u using a network drive and trying to add the logfile group. Log file should be present in the same NT server. Don't use Network Mapped drives, if there is disconnection then Database might crash.

    Check if you have enough space on disk .

    Check if you have log group with the number.

    Try create the group under a new group number.

    make a scandisk and be sure that you do not have bad sectors on hard disk.

    try making the new group on another physical device if available.

    Log on to Oracle as the NT administrator or using the user that being used when installing Oracle.

    Make the statement like :
    Alter database ORCL add logfile group 3 ......

    add the database name to the alter statement ( SID ) and set the environment variable using " Set Oracle_SID=ORCL " to the SID name you want to alter.
