Error during restore operation

Hi all,
I installed SQL server 2000 on my machine first.
Then i just installed SQL server 2005 tools on above it to get
management studio access.
Now i am trying to restore a database on my machine from backup which
i took from server running SQL server 2005.
i am getting the error-
Too many backup devices specified for backup or restore; only 64 are
allowed. RESTORE HEADER ONLY is terminating abnormally.(Microsoft SQL
Server, Error:3205)
Does anybody know how do i go about to resolve it.
Thanks a lot.
I did some Google which suggests you get this error if you try to restore a 2005 backup to 2000.

|||I reproduced the error, that's exactly an error message you get when you try
to restore a backup that is taken from a SQL Server 2005 instance.
