Hi riyazrasheed1234,

An approach I have used which works is to detach the sql2000 database, copy the mdf and ldf database files and reattach the to sql2000.

move the copied mdf and ldf files to the sql2005 data folder and then attach these in sql server management studio.

obviously this will be a challenging in a high availability environment..
