You didn't say whether you were using Enterprise Manager to perform the restore, but I have a feeling that the error is with EM. Try restoring the database in Query Analyzer using the RESTORE command (see Books Online) Hopefully it will work correctly, and you'll find that it's easier and faster to do it this way than EM, once you get the hang of it.

Do you get an error at 99%? If so what is it? Could be a corrupt backup. Do you have any other full backups for this database?
