Ok. I have 2 computers from the same company with different versions of XP. One was for personal use the other for business. I don't know that I was using them that way, but anyhow I had a problem with one and had to reinstall the software.
I pulled out my CDs and installed all 3 -- XP, Professional, and Small Business.
Now when I turn my computer on it says log into Professional OS or Home Edition OS. When I try to log into Home it says it doesn't have the necessary info. So I've been using Professional which is fine. That's been for about 2 months.

Well now I'm trying to get my Photo Editor re-installed after some Hotfix installations. When I insert the CD and select it Photo Editor it goes through the installation and then stops where it supposed to read my registration info. I know it is because I have two Operating Systems installed.
How do I delete Home Edition?
 
A "clean install" is your best choice at this point:
