    Personally, I'd recommend a backup from SQL 2005 and restore to SQL 2008 (support.microsoft.com/.../878449).

    Doing it this way would allow you to keep the SQL2005 instance of SQL for rolling back to in case of problems with the move.

    If you are keeping everything on the same machine, easiest to do an 'in-place' upgrade on SQL, then a normal GP upgrade.
