this is a rather common issue with SQLExpress and auto-named instancing.

Download the SQL Server Express Utility (SSEUtil.exe) from here http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=fa87e828-173f-472e-a85c-27ed01cf6b02&displaylang=en

Then run:

sseutil.exe -d C:\DotNetNuke\App_Data\Database.mdf

Now you can launch your site again and SQLExpress should be able to attach the db.
