I have a database in 2000 that I want to move to a 2005 server.  What is
best way to do that? Backup and Restore doesn't work.  Thanks.

I ran a full backup of the 2000 database, went to the 2005 server and tried
a restore entering the new database name.  It gave me error 3219 which says
"The file or filegroup 'LifeSQL_Log' cannot be selected for this operation."

How did you do the restore? There are no problems in restoring a SQL
2000 database on SQL 2005 server.
You can try to open a query window and then use RESTORE DATABASE
specifying the MOVE option. That might do the trick for you. You can
look up the exact RESTORE syntax in Books On Line.

Was that drive available on the new machine?  I had to go to the options of
the restore in 2005 and change drive letters and paths there that fit the
newer server.

That may be it.  I never thought of that as the drives are different on the
2 servers.  Also, can I do a sp_detach and sp_attach?  Thanks.
