The error is pretty clear.......
The database you are trying to attach is of a higher version (maybe SQL 2008)
and you server is 2005 which is a lower version
so the error is shown;

You can do the following.......

1)Install higher version of Sql Server(Eg 2008)
OR
2)Use queries to create the database in your own server(pretty tedious if you need data too)

Best of luck.........
