Question : Can't Attach SQL mdf After Moving It

I created a database here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\DATA
I detach it, then copy the .mdf and .ldf here: C:\FRCSW
Now when I try to attach the mdf at the new location, I get
"An error occurred when attaching the database(s). Click the hyperlink in the Message column for details".  Then "Unable to open the physical file 'C:\FRCSW\FRCSW_log.ldf.' Operating system error 5: "5(Access is denied)". (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 5120).

I'm not an advanced SQL guy. I can create the relational tables, write stored procedures, and develope them OK, but I can't seem to deploy them.  I always get stuck on the security and permissions issues.

Thanks in advance
