Do not restore a database that does not exist yet with the "Tail_log back up before restore" option
Make sure you use the "Overwrite existing database with replace" option
On the left you see where it says options.
When you start a restore after selecting the .bak file, click on that options link
On the options page the top box will say "Overwrite existing database with replace" make sure you tick that box.
Around the middle of the page you will see another box for "Take a tail_log back up before restore"
Make sure that box is not checked.
