I can't restore my master DB

I have 2 servers (Prod & Staging)
Prod is running SQL 2k Enterprise SP2 (obviously with some fix)
Staging is running SQL 2k Enterprise SP2
I can't get the versions to match, thus I can't restore any of my backed up
databases to the staging server from the production one.
---
Server: Msg 3168, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The backup of the system database on device g:\DBBACKUP\Master.bak cannot be
restored because it was created by a different version of the server (13421
8407) than this server (134218262).
Server: Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.I would determine what versions you are running on both, and then upgrade
staging to match production. Is this possible?

ered the version on the production box and he didn't implement the same fix
on the Staging box.
