Question : Attaching a database

I copied a database file from my slq server to another pc/network and I tried attaching it, and it give me an error saying:
>>The file is compressed but does not reside in a read only database or filegroup.

Now why would this be compressed and how can I uncompress it?

Answer : Attaching a database

SQL Server databases can't reside in a compressed folder and I'd bet the file is in a compressed folder.
