dbcc checktable(sysindexes)

I'm trying to attach a copy of a database to another server. When I do
this, the attach fails due to an index problem. The error message
indicates that I should run:
dbcc checktable(sysindexes)
when I run this on the original server (where the database is attached)
I get a missing sysindexes object error.
However, I am able to run this:
select * from sysindexes
without any apparent problem.
What do I do now?
FYI: dbcc checkdb reports no problems.
TIA.Hi Karl
Did you try DBCC CHECKCATALOG?

DBCC CHECKCATALOG reports no errors. It also doesn't give any other
information other than that command completed successfully.
Now what?

So , you don't see the database since as you said the attach command is
failed, am I right?
Do you detach the database on the "source" server?
Can you perfom BACKUP DATABASE on the source server , then copy the .BAK
file to the "destination" server and run RESTORE DATABASE command? Do you
get the same error?
