Error in restoring SQL Server 6.5 backup

Hi,
I am receiving an error when I try to do a restore of a backup from a
client. I am getting the following error:
"read on dump dump device 'e:\mssql\backup
\NAMEOFFILE' failed, vsn =1 return=1870835794 status = 2. Please consult
the errro log for more details. When I go to the error log I see the message
"dev_read_extent: Trying to read after end of data"
Can someone please tell me what the error means?
I am running 6.5.416 as my dbserver.
Thanks for your assistance,
KimHi
Google turns up nothing other than the obvious ones of corrupt dump file or
no disc space!
Are you both on the same service pack?
Are your devices the same size (or large enough!)?

that created the database on are large enough, otherwise I would have gotten
the error when the backup first attempted to run that says I don't have
enough space.
The backup proceeds about half way, then I get the error that I posted. The
database stays in a loading state until I run the DROP DATABASE command.
I will check with the client on the service pack.
