I received this error a while ago...I forgot what exactly did I do to resolve that but all I can think now is....
check if services related to SQL Server are running under services.msc console (specially by name SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER) and SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER)).

I am sure that they are not running...

Go to the SQL Server Configuration Manager, Microsoft SQL Server 2005>>Configuration tools>>SQL Server Configuration Manager, and start the SQLEXPRESS service. Just put it to automatic.

Are you trying to connect to a remote SQL instance? you should enable it first, then.

Open the surface area configuration tool, and in the remote connections tab, allow remote connections using both tcp and named pipes.

It is on his local computer dude.

check your SQL server Instance Name under service manager.
enable sql server service from services.msc!
