Backup from SQL Server 2005 - restore to 2000

I need to restore a backup of a db in SQL 2005 with 80-compatibility level
into SQL Server 2000. I have tried to do it but I have an error. Is it
possible to do it?
Does exist another fast method to bring a SQL Server 2005 db into 2000?
Many thanks for your suggests.
I known this answer, but I hope if possible with a SQL Server 2005 db in
80-compatibility level.
Using import/export wizard is less quick.
Thanks

I hope to do it because the db in SQL Server 2005 is the result of a db
backupped into SQL Server 2000 and restored into 2005 with 80 compatibility
level.
Many thanks.

Correct, you can restore a DB from SQL 2000 to 2005, but you can not under
any circumstances do the reverse.
The 80 compatibility only refers to features available, etc. The structure
itself is still a 2005 DB.
