I have installed 2 different version of SQL server on my server and laptop, here is their info;
on server :
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 8.00.194 (intel x86)
standard edition on windows nt 5.0 (build 2195:serveic pack 4)

on laptop:
Microsoft SQL server 2000 8.00.760
Desktop engin on windows nt 5.1 (Build 2600: service pack 2)

I would like to restore 'master' file which has been backed up from my
server to my laptop, but I got this message:
"Msg 3168 the backup of system database on device .. cannot be restored
because it was created by different version of the server <134217922>
than this server <134218488> .
I'vq already installed service pack 4 (sql desktop edition)on my laptop but still I'm
getting the same error message.
thanks for your time, and waiting for help.

regards,
Moein"

Why do you want to restore master on your laptop from the server. I assume that you want to do some testing, in that case just backup and restore the database you want to test. You don't need to restore master if you want to test another database.
