Cannot attach the file *.mdf as database

Take a look at this: Entity Framework don’t create database

I would try giving the database a different name. Sometimes you can run into problems with SQL Express when trying to create a database with the same name a second time. There is a way to fix this using SQL Server Management Studio but it’s generally easier to just use a different database name.

Edit This answer was accepted because it confirms the bug and the workaround used by OP (renaming database could help). I totally agree that renaming the database is not really an acceptable way, and does not totally solve the issue. Unfortunatly I didn’t check the other ways to really solve it in SSMS.
