No. You'll have to go out and purchase a conventional
"Full Version" of Windows XP Professional and perform
a "Repair Install" using the new CD and Product Key.

could i use a full version of xp home and do the same?

If you have an illegal version of XP Pro, then you'll
need a "Full Version" of XP Pro to perform a repair
install. XP Home cannot be used in this case. The
only way to use XP Home would be to reformat your
drive and perform a "clean install".

Q. "Can I clean install with a XP Home upgrade cd?"
A. Yes, as long as you have an old Microsoft 95, 98 or ME
installation CD to insert into the CD drive when requested to
do so during the setup phase.
