  What extra info is given with your error number ?

  I suggest to use the "regular" restore scenario.

  Create a backup of the original db using

  backup database xyz to disk=c:\temp\mybackup.bak' with copy_only

  Then copy mybackup.bak to your sqlexpress backup folder.

  Connect to your sqlexpress and perform the restore.

  (using SSMSE(gui) or writing your ownd restore database xyz from disk=...

  Keep in mind SQLExpress has limitations in db-size ! (4Gb max)
