attaching to msdb db

Hello there
On the business i;m working on, I've installed MSDE on my client computer.
So far i've worked with SQL sever 2000
now i transfered to sql server 2005.
and i tried to attach one of my files. It gave me Error because my DB i;m
trying to attach is bigger then 2GB (which is not possible according to
microsoft Licence)
now what can i do,
if i instead of detach and attach i do backup and restore it allow me to do
that?Roy
SQL Server 2005 Express Edition has 4GB limited .Or do you try to attach
SQL Server 2005 to MSDE database?
