First, you need to have sys admin permissions on the source and destination. If you use the detach method you also need to have file permissions on both the source and destination.

Second, you need SS 2005 sp2 for both to have all the features. It may work with less but options will be limited.

This link from MS gives a good explanation:

In the “Configure the Package” screen, it tells me of the location to find the package created, such as ACHILLE_MSSQL2DTS PackagesCopy Database Wizard Packages.
But so far I have been unable to locate the newly created package so I could run it again at will.
Please help.

4. Right-click the database that you want to copy
5. chose the option “tasks”
6. there in the new list click “copy database…”

i think the rest is clear :)
