restoring to 2005 doesnt work

Hi peeps
Bit of a problem... I did a backup of a database on SQL Server 2000 which
I'm now trying to restore to my newly setup server (Win2k3, SQL 2005
Developer Ed), but I'm getting the following error...
Restore failed for server 'SERVER'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: Directory lookup for the file "F:\Program
Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL$DSERV\Data\dartsV2.mdf" failed with the
operating system system error 21 (the device is not ready).
I can't think of any reason why this would be happening, apart from the fact
that I've changed the DOMAIN of the network from DSERV to something else, so
is it looking for MSSQL$DSERV that's causing the prob? Or something I'm
missing?
Cheers
DanHi
It looks like your drives/locations don't match the original server? Try
using the move option to specify a new location. If this is a SAN disc make
sure it has been allocated to SQL Server in Cluster Manager.

Restoring SQL Server 2000 backup to Express

When I try to restore my SQL Server 2000 backup file to a newly installed copy of SQL Server 2005 Express using Studio Express, I get the following error:

The backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing 'UpperBridge' database. (Microsoft.sqlservfer.Express.smo)

The backup is made from an SQL Server 2000 database called 'UpperBridge'

I am trying to restore to a database called 'UpperBridge' which I created under 'New databases' in Studio Express.

Any help very much appreciated.

try forcing the "overwrite" of the database already present in the SQLExpress instance,
RESTORE DATABASE ....
....
WITH REPLACE;

or just drop the database before restoring (obviously take a full local backup of it before dropping it, if required )..
