Access is denied - Did you even read your error log?
It is an windows security issue. Try to turn off UAC or check the permissions of the files you are trying to attach. Does the SQL Server Service Account has read and write rights to those files? If not, modify the rights for this account.

Ok i tryed re installing after i disabled the UAC now what? i cant even connect to my Express DB any more Error:

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.

Make sure your server name and instance name is correct and also be sure SQL Browser service is running on your machine.

Ok i enabled the SQL Browser and the database is stilll giving me the same error

Would i try the SQL Server Authication

like 127.0.0.1
Username the one thats in the psm_servicemgr
password the one thats in the psm_servicemgr?

Im confused...

You actually have to set up login credentials on your database; therefore you will have a username and password (unless you use windows authentication)

Thanks i fixed it (well you guys fixed it) but i have this other problem with error 10053...

As you've created a new thread for this other error, I'm closing this thread.
