Don't use the database migration wizard. That's a really long way.
Take a backup of the SQL 2000 database and restore it on 2005. Once you're restored, rebuild all indexes and run a checkDB. You'll also have to migrate the logins across. SSIS's transfer logins should do that, just make sure that you copy the SID across or all the users will be orphaned.

And please, please don't post the same question in multiple forums. It might seem like you'll get more responses, but it just wastes peoples time and spreads replies all over the forums.

Hi - I'm having a similar problem. I'm trying to restore a sql2000 master db to a sql2005 installation on a totally different machine. What is the correct procedure? Both the sql2000 and sql2005 are on MS cluster. I start SQL 2005 in single user mode (sqlservr.exe -c -m) then try to restore the .bak of the sql2000 master db that I have. I get an error message that says "....the backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing 'master' database." Can you please advise me? Thanks.

You can't restore a backup of a system database (master, msdb, model) that was made in SQL 2000. See "Copying Databases with Backup and Restore" in BOL.
