Problems Restoring Backup

[jasch]

(I know this is not the DVRUpgrade support forum, but I left a message there 2 days ago, and so far no replies), and the problem might me related to mfsrestore as well, so here we go...

I've been a using of Instant Cake for years (I have about 15 different versions), and today I have been stumped by my first error I cannot explain:

Starting restore
Uncompressed backup size: 1453 megabytes
Restore failed: Decompression error


I tried with two different computers, and two different copies of Instant Cake, both failed on the same hard drive (a 400mb Seagate, which I pulled from a TDC5400, and wanted to re-image).

I know the HD is perfectly fine, because I was able to partition it and format it using Seagate Utilities, but Instant Cake fails with the above error.

I know it's not the PC, or ribbon cables, because I tried using a 80GB drive to restore the image and it worked beautifully.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Any ideas?CD read errors? Try burning a fresh copy and verify it to be sure it is all readable.

Yeah, I tried two freshly-burned copies..., but with the 80GB hd it worked perfectly.

Never mind, found the problem. Not only the CD was bad, the iso was corrupted also. Had to re-purchase IC and now it's working.
