Attempting to upgrade HOME with XP Pro, the upgrade process indicates that
the Home edition has a later release date than the PRO and upgrade halts.

How to get around ?

Thanks

This means that your installed OS is at a higher service pack level
than is the WinXP Pro CD you're using. You'll either need to uninstall
SP2 before attempting the upgrade, or try slipstreaming SP2 into older
WinXP installation.

For slip-streaming the service pack and subsequent updates to WinXP:
