|i have not had any luck using this method. it was really simple on SQL6,

If the file system setup varies from machine to machine, you need to make
sure you change the paths ( options tab of restore window ) when doing a
restore. For example my development machine might keep files C:\mssql\...
but when I move it to the production server it might keep files in
Z:\mssql\...
