Could Not Find Row In Sysindexes

Folks,
I have an MDF and LDF file which I am attempting to attach as a SQL db. I
keep getting the error 602 that begins with "could not find row in sysindexe
s
for database ID 13, object id 1, index id 1".
I think MDF and LDF files are SQL 2000, but I'm having my doubts. If I tried
to load MDF and LDF files into 2000 that had been tweaked by 2005, would I
get this error?

Yes, that is the error you get when trying to attach a database that is from
a higher version of SQL Server.

Looks like your database is corrupted. Do you a good copy of database in
your server; else you may need to restore
from a good backup available.
For SQL 2000; Please execute DBCC CHECKDB atleast weekly once to chek if
there is any corruptions.
Thanks
Hari

I installed SQL Server 2005 and tried to load my mdf file. It worked
perfectly, so clearly I was trying to load into SQL Server 2000 something
that had the 2005 format.
Meanwhile, I scripted the objects and tweaked the script and loaded the
gemisch into SQL 2000. Then I exported the data from 2005 into 2000. Works
like a charm in SQL 2000 now.
