Thanks for the suggestion, Phillip, but that didn't work either.  I copied the
backupset from the CD to local disk and specified the local disk as the location
for the backupset, and still receive the same error.  Has anyone else had this
problem?  Any ideas on how to resolve?  Thanks,

Hi Cheri,

Have you tried to copy the file from the burned CD to local disk and then
restore from there? How do you create the CD - with session open/close
session/...? It may make things complicated.
I met this message before when I tried to restore a backupset from tape
drive while server and client were on the same machine, and it was solved by
creating a FILE device class' backupset.

Following are some other cases which gets the same error message. FYI.

Regards,
Phillip
