Hello, I'm trying to repair a desktop computer that was home built and will
not boot up. It has a fault that goes to a BSOD but the BIOS cannot be set to
not restart on crash. I only know that the system is Windows XP but not the
version "Home or Pro". I will be booting with a Windows XP to the recovery
console using a XP Pro original CD. Can a Windows XP Home have a repair
install using a Windows Pro disk and if not is there a way I can determine
which version, Home or Pro, installed on the defective computer?
