The following is one good book that deals with data modelling specifically
from the ER perspective:
http://www.amazon.com/Modeling-Essentials-Third-Graeme-Simsion/dp/0126445516
However, the ER perspective is not the only way or necessarily the best way
to design a database. See also:
http://www.amazon.com/Information-Modeling-Relational-Databases-Conceptual/dp/1558606726
Another book I highly recommend is the following. It's not a comprehensive
reference or tutorial but it does give excellent analysis and guidance on
some of the key topics.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Practical-Issues-Database-Management-Fabian/dp/0201485559

Whenever possible please post enough code to reproduce your problem.
Including CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements usually helps.
State what version of SQL Server you are using and specify the content
of any error messages.
