to put home on..how would i do that?...
If you are going from Home to Pro, you will need to perform a 'Clean'
install of XP, which will mean everything will lost including any data files
you have created - they will need to be backed up for use at a later time.
Please have a look at the following article by Michael Stevens regarding a
'Clean' install of XP:
Just boot from the Windows XP CD (change the BIOS boot order if necessary to
accomplish this) and follow the prompts for a clean installation (delete the
existing partition by pressing "D" when prompted, then create a new one).
Insert your new xp disc in cd rom drive and restart your comp. Then take it
from there. It will ask you later in the installation if you want to "install
on highlighted partition" press yes and it will say there is already a OS on
that partition, dont bother with that just say you want to install it on
highlighted partition
