Check your permissions on D:\HCKCMS\database2012\CMSHCK.mdf...
Do linked server...

Have you looked through http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb677622(v=SQL.110).aspx[^]

i think the issue is related to rights for the user which is trying to attaching the file to sql server. so can you please check it out it first. or it might solve your problem also.

Be aware that if you attach your 2005 DB to SQL2012 you will not be able to use it with SQL 2005 again - Sql will convert it to the latest format, and there is no facility to export a 2005 friendly version.

A much, much better idea would be to copy the DB and allow the 2012 version to be a new, separate DB that it manages: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188664.aspx[^]
