Restore WSS 3.0 on another new server

I have tried to restore a build (using Central Administration) on another new server (different server name) but failed. The server has been installed with WSS 3.0 using the default setting, and I have moved the content database, search database, ... to another drive which is exactly the same as the old server. Howerver, when I restore the backup on the new server, it return with the following error, have any idea  for this ??
