    There are some funnies restoring old databases into SQL 2008 via the guy; have you tried doing it via TSQL ?

    Use Master
Go
RESTORE DATABASE YourDB
FROM DISK = 'C:\YourBackUpFile.bak'
WITH MOVE 'YourMDFLogicalName' TO 'D:\Data\YourMDFFile.mdf',--check and adjust path
MOVE 'YourLDFLogicalName' TO 'D:\Data\YourLDFFile.ldf'
