I tried to upgrade my PC from OEM XP Home to Pro with an authentic CD but the
installation stalled giving an error message. The only way out was to hit the
reset switch which results in a "re-installing windows" then "insert CD into
the d drive" message but when I do this it doesn't proceed. When I try to
reboot in safe mode the only option given is to use XP Pro ( ie XP Home is
missing) which takes me back to the above message and around and around it
goes. I've also tried 'last known good configuration' without success. Do I
have to format the hard drive and try re- installing XP Pro?? What else can I
try?
Thanks
