Copy database from sql 2008 to sql express

You can NOT use  Copy Database Wizard when destination server is SQL Server Express Edition.

Use backup and restore instead but keep in mind database size must be less than 4 GB.

Try copying  with DB scripts, Database >> Tasks >> Generate Scripts >>
Refer this link for additional info

Try using DATABASE publishing wizard to generate scripts with schema and data.
