Restore problem - anyone seen this error before?

I am having a problem restoring a database (SQL2000).
from a .bak file device. When I attempt a restore I get
the following message
"The media set for database xxx has 3 family members but
only 1 are provided. All memebers must be provided.
Restore database is terminating abnormally"
The .bak file has been zipped and unzipped with winzip9.
Could this have corrupted the file?

ngibson(revovethis)@.mclgroup.co.ukI think you may have made the database backup to multiple files. You need
to find the other 2 backup files to be able to restore the database.
Look in the msdb..backupmediafamily table on the server you made the backup
to find the names of the other 2 files if you don't know them.
<plug> If you need small backups, give MiniSQLBackup a spin. </plug>
