Error restoring database

I'm trying to restore a database and getting the following error:
Bypassing recovery for database 'SPS02_Config_db' because it is marked IN
LOAD.
It's been sitting in this state for about 30 minutes now, and I don't know
what to do. This is the main config database for our sharepoint install. I
really need some help.
TIA,
Jerame
Hi,
There are 2 chances for this error:-
1. Restored the database with NORECOVERY
2. Restore staopped in middle.
If the problem is because of second issue then you need to restore the
database from a backup.
If the problem is because of first issue then issue the below command to
make the database online.
RESTORE DATABASE <DBNAME> WITH RECOVERY
Thanks

I reran the restore, and it worked that time.
