First of all happy new year to all.

I could not restore the bak file to sql server 2000. i rescued the bak files from a formatted hard drive. Now i want to restore it to the sql server but i can't do it. there is a message like this "it doesn't a sql backup file that you want to restore". Please help me.

Thanks..

What is the exact error message? Or is that a translation from your
localised version of SQL Server?

It seems that either your backup file is damaged, or you have gotten hold
of a completely different file that you intended. It was a backup from
SQL 2000, you thought you had, wasn't it?

I'm afraid that there is not much help you can get here with the amount
of information you have provided.

Also, you can't restore a SQL Server 2005 backup file to a SQL Server 2000
Instance so ensure that the backup file is backed up from a SQL Server 2000
Instance.

As Erland mentioned, you need to provide more specific info about the error.
