Can't see mapped drives

Hi,
Am unable to see mapped drive when going to restore db in
sql 2000 enterprise manager. Service is set to start
with a lan acct. acct is in the local machine admin grp
and remote machine admin grp.
Any suggestions:-)
Thanks in advanceDo not use mapped drives for backup\restore with SQL server. Use UNC names
instead. SQL may or may not see a mapped drive correctly but will always
find a UNC share that it has permission and connection to.

You cant see the mapped drives in Enterprise manager. Rather you can
directly mention the UNC path directly in Enterprise manager or use
Restore database command from Query Analyzer.
Restore database <dbname> from disk='\\machinename\share\backupfile.bak'
with stats=10 With
Move 'logicaldatafile' to physcaldatafile',
Move 'logiallogfile' to physcallogfile'
stats will show the restore status
Thanks

se of trace flag 1807.
