Two things,

1. First, you have to make sure that you have enough disk space on Data Drive and Log Drive on the SQL server.
2. Secondly, you have to make sure that you did not cap the maximum Size for the Database. If thats the case then you can also use the SQL script.

For the Max Size check this

USE [master]
GO
ALTER DATABASE [myDatabaseName] MODIFY FILE ( NAME = N'myDatafileNAme', SIZE = 10240KB )
GO

For AutoGrowth Please check this:

USE [master]
GO

ALTER DATABASE [MyTechMantra]
    MODIFY FILE ( NAME = N'MyTechMantra', FILEGROWTH = 512MB )
GO

ALTER DATABASE [MyTechMantra]
    MODIFY FILE
        (NAME = N'MyTechMantra_log', FILEGROWTH = 256MB )
GO
