Just remembered too how stupid I was doing the restore. First time round I had installed SQL Server 2008, and then used the Standalone Server option in the SharePoint setup. That installs SQL 2005 and uses that! Means that wehn you try and restore the databases to your SQL 2008 instance, it will error saying that you do not have permissions to Create Database. Must keep better notes of what I am doing.
Had only just read about choosing the Full installation if using your own SQL instance too!!
