internal consistency error

I am getting the following error when I am trying to
restore a database/differential backup. Any ideas about
what is going on ' I can not do DBCC CHECKDB on the
production server. I will do it on the backup server if I
can restore it of course.
An internal consistency error occurred. Contact technical
support for assistance. RESTORE DATABASE is terminating
abnormally.
Thanks.Hi,
Could you please confirm that the SQL Server is up and running and the datab
ase in question is online.
And you are unable to run DBCC CHECKDB(<db name> )
On doing so what error you get? On running DBCC CHECKDB does it shows some i
nconsistency and allocation error on the second last line of output...
Also look for errors in the SQL Server error log for this database.
Regards

don't want to run into performance issues while all the
users are in. The size of the DB is ~45 GB.
Thanks.

restoring the Differential backup. And NO, there is no
other backup after the differential backup.
I have the FULL backup from sunday and the differential
backup from last night. Both backups were completed
successfully.
