Question : Converting form MSSQL 2000 to MSSQL 2005

Hi,
I am trying to convert a database form MSSQL 2000 to MSSQL 2005.
The DB used to be running on a server called SRV2000
I have imported the 2000 DB to a server called: SRV2005

After the import is done, I can see the newly imported DB under the "Registered Servers" tree in the SQL Management studio. It sits under SRV2005.

But when I go and run this query:
select @@servername
I get: SRV2000 instead of the expected SRV2005
What can I do?
Thank you.

how?
It looks to me that you only created a LINKED server, and did not copy the database, ie that you run the select @@servername in a connection to SRV2000

to copy a database, you have to:
BACKUP the database on sql server 2000, copy the backupfile over, and RESTORE it there
