1.detach the databse first using sql management studio gui or sp_detach_db procedure
2.copy mdf,ldf files to new server location
3. attach it to new server using ssms gui or sp_attach_db proc

You can not detach a SQL server database if any of below points are true:

1. Database is being mirrored in the mirroring.
2. Database is suspect.
3. Database is a system database.
4. Database is replicated & published.
