Can I up/downgrade XP Home SP2 to XP Pro SP1??

[Guest]

Is it possible in anyway to up/downgrade a XP Home edition with preinstalled
SP2 to a XP Pro with SP1 preinstalled?

Is there a fix for this or a way to get around it?

Thank you,
Michael.

It depends on what version of XP Pro SP1 CD media you have. Your best path
is to create a slipstreamed XP Pro CD with SP 2 from the XP Pro SP1 CD.
XP OEM versions can only do clean install, to upgrade you need retail
upgrade or full versions.
Give us more info on what you want to upgrade and what specific versions you
want to use to accomplish the task.

I did a search on slipstream cd on Google and got one made. That did the
trick. Didn't know you could make your own XP cd's like that. Cool

Thank you!
