Try backing up and restoring the database instead of attaching the MDF file.

Also SQL server MDF files might not be backward compatible unless you have run the following :

SQL

----SQL Server 2005 database compatible level to SQL Server 2000
EXEC sp_dbcmptlevel dbname, 80;
GO
----SQL Server 2000 database compatible level to SQL Server 2005
EXEC sp_dbcmptlevel dbname, 90;
GO
