And have you visited any of the help links that were given to you? If so, what did they tell you?

The 'ADDITIONAL INFORMATION' clearly states that it cannot find "E:\DATA\DPIDataSQL.mdf". So is your path correct and does the file exist at that location? If not then that is the cause of your problem.

This[^] has a step-by-step guide, which should help you.
