Problem with installation of 'Adventureworks' sample db provided by Microsoft

I was trying to install the 'Adventureworks' sample db to the following
path: D:\MSSQL\Data. After I run the installer, I tried to run the following
query at the Sql Server Management Studio as stated in the documentation:
exec sp_attach_db @.dbname=N'AdventureWorks',
@.filename1=N'D:\MSSQL\Data\AdventureWorks_Data.mdf ',
@.filename2=N'D:\MSSQL\Data\AdventureWorks_log.ldf'
However, when I tried to execute this script, I got the following error:
Msg 1813, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Could not open new database 'AdventureWorks'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted.
Msg 602, Level 21, State 50, Line 1
Could not find row in sysindexes for database ID 9, object ID 1, index ID 1.
Run DBCC CHECKTABLE on sysindexes.
Any idea how can I resolve this?
Did you have 'Adventureworks' install on the server already?
Have you tried CREATE DATABASE ... FOR ATTACH option , see details in the
BOL?

|||Yup I have. Anyway, pardon me for my ignorance but how do I use the CREATE
DATABASE ... FOR ATTACH option and what's a BOL?

|||I meant I have installed the 'Adventureworks' db (the installation runs
smoothly so I assumed that). However, it does not appear in the Sql Server
Management Studio. I referred to the documentation and it says that I need
to run the "exec sp_attach_db @.dbname=N'AdventureWorks'" script. When I did
that, I got the error.

|||Hi Uri,
I tried to execute the script that you gave and got the following error:
Msg 15010, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_detach_db, Line 25
The database 'Archive' does not exist. Use sp_helpdb to show available
databases.
Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
Invalid object name 'master.sys.master_files'.
Any idea what went wrong?

my script.

SET @.data_path = (SELECT SUBSTRING(physical_name, 1,

|||Well, I do have Sql Server 2000. Anyway, how do I disconnect that? (I tried
to stop the Sql Server Service Manager, but it stopped both versions of the
sql server instead).
