Hi

Is it a replacement hard drive that is in it as this issue could be related to a incorrect amount of storage

I would try formatting it in disk utility (or any other disk formatting program)

Try all the formats and try a restore

Let me know if you are still having a issue

Hopefully this helps

Any questions please ask

Thanks:-)

Hey there, thanks for the help - I completely forgot about disk utility, it took forever to get it restored but that worked.
