Hi,

Boot the XP Home system, delete the Pro system folders from Windows
Explorer. Start the WinXP Pro CD from within the XP Home system and make
sure you choose upgrade instead of new installation.

If you did a Clean Install you have already most the data.

Hi Mike,

I can't tell you that, you will have to look through the system and figure
out where (or to what folder) it was installed.
