I have the following problem....

i cannot restore a backup of a database on a new server from a backup. i get the following message :

------------------------------------------------
The backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing 'blackcar' database . Backup or restore operation terminating abormally.
------------------------------------------------

History:
--------
I made a backup of the old one i want to place on another PC. when i restore it i get the message above. i tried both creating the database then restoring and restoring it without it created. Neither worked


Server running:
---------------

MS SQL Server Enterprise ver. 7.0
128 MB ram
500 mhz machine
