I am giving the following restore command to restore the database on drive D but its giving me msg about drive C low on space. funny thing is that the space statistics its showing is of drive D ..

RESTORE DATABASE fdt
FROM DISK='D:\sql_backups\Data\fdt\fdt_db_200808150200.BAK'
WITH
MOVE 'fdt_Data' TO 'D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\data\fdt_data.mdf',
MOVE 'fdt_Log' TO 'D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\data\fdt_log.ldf'

Server: Msg 3257, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
There is insufficient free space on disk volume 'C:\' to create the database. The database requires 94280155136 additional free bytes, while only 68339838976 bytes are available.
Server: Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
