What kind of errors are you running in to? I've just this minute restored a back up of a sql server 2000 db into a sql express 2005 db and apart from a failed database login and a mismatched datasource name (wish I could type proper like) it all seems to be running fine.

Better to do a back-up of the current core files, delete them or move them and then copy in the latest core files.
