Fresh unattend install of XP home upgrade

[Dimi]

Does anyone know how to do (or if it is even possible) an fresh
install of Win Xp home upgrade?

My company has only upgrade key for their computers. Now they want me
to reinstall their computers. I have made an unattend install of an
regular xp home addition. This works fine with the 5 regular "keys"
they have, but when I use the key of an "Xp home upgrade" it says
unvalid cd key.

I have made a new deploy using de upgrade i386, but this one start
looking for a previously installed windows.

i don't want to reinstall win98 to make it work

Anyone with some bright ideas??

You'll need "Full Version" licenses (Product Keys) and
not "Upgrade" Product Keys.
