SQL 7/NT4/ADSM Connect Agent 1.1.1A

Trying to restore a production database into a new database created for the
recovery.  Getting the following error:

        Error: SQL server errors encountered. DB_LIB message: The file
e:\mssql7\data\dbname.mdf
        cannot be used by Restore.  Consider using the WITH MOVE option to
identify a valid location for this file.

Read on this site that for SQL 7.0 they require the original database file
(.mdf file) to NOT exist before doing a "restore into".  The suggestion was
to rename the database .mdf file to something else or restore to a different
SQL server.

However, DBA has told me that the database is empty.  It was created just to
house this load from production.  What are we missing?

Thanks,

Maria
