Bear with me but how do I make sure the files are writeable?

comment Move a Database that is in restore mode
Let me re-run what I did and get the actual error message out. But basically, I stopped the service, copied the .mdf, .ldf and .ndf files over. Went into SMSS and restored from there but met the restore/read-only error in the process. Will report back in an hour or so with findings.

I can't do this because I don't have active directory set up and I kinda hacked my local server to have the same user/pass as my primary DB. I can't do this for my other server (the analysis server).

comment SQL Server 2008 Copy Database Wizard: Fail
That's the feeling I got because a few SPROCS that were referencing tables that were not longer used were flagged before that halting the entire operation. See the thing is, I am really trying to move a database that is in restore/stand by mode (it is the log shipping destination db) and this seems to be the only viable channel without breaking the logshipping chain? Do you have any workarounds for this?
