If you want to upgrade from win2000 pro, you'd have to use Win XP Pro. Not
home.

Greetings --

Win2K can be upgraded to WinXP Pro, but not to WinXP Home. That
would be why Win2K wasn't listed as a qualifying product on the box.

Simply boot from the WinXP installation CD. You'll be offered
the opportunity to delete, create, and format partitions as part of
the installation process. (You may need to re-arrange the order of
boot devices in the PC's BIOS to boot from the CD.)
