Error in loading a picture in BFILE

Question

Hi People,
This is a procedure to load a .JPEG file in a column with bfile datatype.
I have created a table ER with following structure:
CREATE TABLE ER (ENO NUMBER, ENAME VARCHAR2(20), PHOTO BFILE);
now i have inserted values in this table as,
INSERT INTO ER(ENO,ENAME) VALUES(10,'VID');
now i have written a procedure to update the column of photo in er table.
CREATE DIRECTORY BF AS 'D:/';
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE load_bfile
(p_file_loc IN VARCHAR2) IS
v_file BFILE;
v_filename VARCHAR2(16);
BEGIN
v_filename := 'SAMPLE' || '.JPEG';
v_file := BFILENAME(p_file_loc, v_filename);
DBMS_LOB.FILEOPEN(v_file);
UPDATE eR SET PHOTO = v_file
where eno=10;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('LOADED FILE: '||v_filename
|| ' SIZE: ' || DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(v_file));
DBMS_LOB.FILECLOSE(v_file);
END load_bfile;
The sample picture is now located in D: only.so inorder to execute the procedure i have issued as,
EXEC load_bfile('BF');
but following errors occured.
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-22288: file or LOB operation FILEOPEN failed
The system cannot find the file specified.
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_LOB", line 504
ORA-06512: at "SYS.LOAD_BFILE", line 8
ORA-06512: at line 1
what could be the error here.I have checked that all pathname is correct.please suggest me.

This is the struct of the table ER.
SQL> DESC ER
Name Null? Type
ENO NUMBER
ENAME VARCHAR2(20)
PHOTO BINARY FILE LOB
INSERT INTO ER(ENO,ENAME) VALUES(10,'VID');
COMMIT;
The file is in local D drive.
CREATE DIRECTORY BF AS 'D:/';
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE load_bfile
(p_file_loc IN VARCHAR2) IS
v_file BFILE;
v_filename VARCHAR2(16);
BEGIN
v_filename := 'SAMPLE' || '.JPEG';
v_file := BFILENAME(p_file_loc, v_filename);
DBMS_LOB.FILEOPEN(v_file);
UPDATE eR SET PHOTO = v_file
where eno=10;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('LOADED FILE: '||v_filename
|| ' SIZE: ' || DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(v_file));
DBMS_LOB.FILECLOSE(v_file);
END load_bfile;
EXEC load_bfile('BF');
BEGIN load_bfile('BF'); END;

These are the steps i have followed.Is anything wrong in these steps?.This all i have done connecting to local database only.
