Replacing Non-Genuine XP with New Real XP Pro?

[Guest]

It turns out my version of XP Pro is a Non-Genuine version.

I have bought a new XP Pro with SP2. Is there I way I can just use the new
valid Product # with the currently loaded XP, or must I go through the pain
of installing the new Valid XP Pro?

Thanks
