Do you use custom software or SSMS?
What kind of version of Win7 (32 or 64 bit)?
What kind of version of MS SQL Server (2k5, 2k8, 2012)?

Windows 7 64-Bit
SQL SERVER 2008

Just an idea... Create a user in the destination machine with the same login as the one who was 'owning' the backed-up database...

From the error message you have given it shows the user credentials under which the service is running does not have the permission to restore the permission.
So please ensure that this user has the sufficient privileges to restore a database on the SQLServer instance that you are connecting to.
