MSSQL Restore Error 25 - cannot write progress file

Has anyone seen the above problem? Running NBU6.0MP4 on Master, 6.0GA on client. The restore is trying to write to the D drive on the client. Unfortunately NBU is installed on the C drive and the D drive is a CDROM. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
I am working on upgrading the client to MP4, but that is another problem as it is W2K3 64bit. :(

One question was the DB you are trying to restore in a D drive? this error came up because the DB image is looking to be restored in the same path where originaly was, to change the restore to a different path you must create a move template and change the new path where u want to restore the DB and remember to first create the DB with the same name and then perform the restore over those files. For more info about this process follow the Netbackup MSSQL Admin Guide.
 
Hope this helps.

No it was not supposed to be to the D: drive, although the log file showed it was trying to write a progress log to the D: drive, why I have no clue.

Maybe this will help:
 
STATUS CODE 5 or 25: While attempting a restore of a SQL database, it fails with either a NetBackup Status Code 5 (the restore failed to recover the requested files) or a NetBackup Status Code 25 (cannot connect on socket).
