Assuming you have not installed Windows XP Professional on
another computer, you'll need to create a new Windows XP Pro
CD with Service Pack 2 "slipstreamed", then perform the upgrade.
Either one of the following utilities makes slipstreaming
(integrating) SP2 into Windows XP a breeze:

or
AutoStreamer 1.0.33 (preferred)

| I wanted to upgrade my XP Home laptop, but when I put in the XP Pro CD it

| Is there an easy ay round this?
