Well, what exactly are you having trouble with? It would be difficult for us to help you unless you tell us exactly what you are trying to do, and what error message you are getting.

Anyhow. If you have a database backup, you should be able to issue a RESTORE DATABASE command from Query Analyzer (see BOL for syntax and samples). If the backup file is on a network share, make sure that the service account for your SQL2k has rights to access that share.

Hard to understand the question, but I'll play along. Sounds like you need to use the WITH MOVE option.
