They have said it is difficult to duplicate and therefore is taking some time and will keep me updated. They have said that fresh partitions don't have the issue. It is older drives (images actually) that have had a lot of sector manipulation done to them that are having the issue. So I think the issue is in the Image file caused by all the sector manipulation. I tried duplicating this using the original drive and making a new image backup. It restored just fine to a larger drive resized to use all space everytime. My original backup image was destroyed after the new hard drive was installed so I could no longer play with the error situation. If you are having the issue described here, I would try the following if you can. First defrag your drive, run chkdsk also. Then create a new backup image and try the restore to larger drive with this image, my guess is it will work. Or if you can't do that, you could restore the suspect image to a larger drive but just don't resize it to use all space through SSR 2011. After the restore in this manner, then use disk management to extend the partition. This is what I did.
Once I destroyed the original image I could never duplicate the error again. This is why Symantec is having a hard time, they need a particular image that fails and it is hard to re-create the environment. Hope this made sense.

We were getting the same problem with a server down emergency, veritas would not help unless we had a support contract. Which takes 24 hours. So began reading, found this. But we tried everything....nothing helped. Restored to a bigger partition, and it worked!!
