What version of SQL you are using? Are you trying to restore system database -MODEL or an user database? Are you restoring using GUI or TSQL?

You might try running RESTORE FILELISTONLY to see the contents of the backup file.

I assume that the backup you took was a Full backup rather than a differential.
