• That was my thought also, but I wanted to put the question out just in case.

    I had norecovery for full backup restore as well as the log files during my last restore attempt.  This time, I will use query analyzer instead of the gui to make sure it is "norecovery".

    It  just that restore took 3 hours.

    Thanks.

    Things will work out.  Get back up, change some parameters and recode.
