for SQL 2012 you can only attach / upgrade a database from SQL 2005 or newer (you can only attach databases from two version below)

if your database version 2000 or lower , attach the database to any of your lower edition (2005, 2008, 2008R2), upgrade the database level (database property) to latest version, detach it and attach it finally to your SQL Server 2012.
