restore a differential backup into a database with a different name

I have a full back-up + differential backup of a database that I need to
restore onto another server. After I copied the backup onto the other
server, I selected restore from device and from its contents, I can see both
the full backup + differential backup. However, I am not able to restore
differential backup by checking the checkbox next to it. Any idea what I am
doing wrong? I am able to restore the full + differential backup into the
original db where the backups are made from.
Thanks in advancePerhaps some problem in the GUI (hard to tell without any error messages)?
I suggest you use Query Analyzer and the RESTORE command. You might want to investigate the backup
file(s) first using RESTORE and the HEADERONLY and FILELISTONLY options.
