carry database of 2000 to new computer with SQL Server 2005

I used "detach" in old computer with running SQL SERVER 2000 and copy the
A.MDF file to the new computer with SQL Server 2005.
Then used "attach" to restore the database A in the new computer. The
database A still keeps the user names and machine name. I can not delete them.
The problem is that I can not expand the folder of Database Diagrams. When I
do it, I got the message:
Database diagram support objects cannot be installed because this database
does not have a valid owner. To continue, first use the Files page of
Database Properties dialog box or the ALTER AUTHORIZATION statement to set
the database owner to a valid login, then add the database diagram support
objects.
I did the "use the Files page of Database Properties dialog box to to set
the database owner to a valid login", by using a new computer valid user
name. But it does not work. I do not know how "then add the database diagram
support objects" either.
Thanks for any help.

OK, should be fine.

User names are expected. Yes, you can remove these if you wish. Check out DROP USER.
SQL Server does not store the machine name inside the database, except for the master and msdb
databases.

You need to set the owner to a login that exists as a login inside SQL Server. After that is done
(and restart SSMS just in case), SSMS will add the procedures etc automatically.

I did something wrong.
I login to computer system, computer, by using my account, for example,
david. So the full name: computer\david.
I used SSMS to connect the database dbase. I right click on the database and
select the Properties. In the popup window, select Files. In the owner bos,
browser my account name, computer\david. Then click OK.
Restart SSMS. Tried to open the database diagrams, and I got the same error
massage.

that helps. If not, I'm out of ideas, I'm afraid.

I got the same error and fixed it by
right click on database
properties
files
options
Then change the compatibility from 80 which is SQL2000 to 90 which is
SQL2005.
