Have a look at this thread (not sure if it will help in this specific instance) : http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28741 Is the SRA file you are working with using reference based compression?

You should also contact SRA tech support with additional specifics about the error (which exact SRA # etc). There are instances where SRA files have errors in them.
