Determining the Server and Database Name for a SQL Server

Z@db@khsh asked:

Hi,
I'm working out on creating membership schema in VS by reading this link,
In first step, it propose to create an database file in VS by adding a database file to App_data folder, and next I should open the MS SQL 2005 Express to determining that file.
I have MS SQL server 2008 R2, and when I want to add the database than I create in App_data,
I can't find it...
because The SQL server message : cannot access the specific path or file on the server. verfy that you have the necessary security privileges and the path or file exists.
How I can add that database?
can I create a database in MS SQL server and use it for this article?
if yes, How?
