Can't restore database: A transport-level error has occurred when receiving results from the server
Use SQLCMD instead of Management studio to do the restore and try this.  (Since you are using a named instance make sure to use the -S switch for SQLCMD)

C:\&gt; SQLCMD -S GINO\SQLEXPRESS
&gt; RESTORE DATABASE master FROM DISK='C:\SQLBackups\master.bak' WITH REPLACE;
&gt; GO


Obviously replacing the path to your backup with the real path of where your backup is.

Have a look here for (slightly) more information.
