Hi, I'm helping a friend of mine migrate their database from one computer to another, he created a backup from the original server and gave me a USB stick with the backup on. The plan was to use the restore database function from within Management Studio Express on the new computer to restore the database to it's new home. However every time I run restore I get the following error:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express
------------------------------
Restore failed for Server 'CURWOOD-PC\INVENIAS'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.Smo)
For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&ProdVer=9.00.3042.00&EvtSrc=Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.ExceptionTemplates.FailedOperationExceptionText&EvtID=Restore+Server&LinkId=20476

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: CREATE DATABASE permission denied in database 'master'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.Smo)

BUTTONS:
OK

There is already another database server (CURWOOD-PC\INVENIAS) on the new computer, do I need to create another one for the restore? or can it be restored inside the existing server, as this server seems to be the one were permission is denied for database creation.
I much appreciate any help provided,
John
