Attach Database Basic Question

When one of our clients tries to attach a database (about 6GB in size)
she gets a message saying file size limit exceeded. She is using Sql
Server 2000. Is there a limitation on size for Sql Server 2000? I know
for MSDE the size can not be more than 2GB. Can you shed any light on
the issue please?Strange, and is there enough space on the file system for the database?

storage for a database
(2 vs 4 GB).
