This is an SOS
I tried to upgrade Win XP Home Edition to Win XP Pro using
Express menu. The setup program mentioned that it will
have to delete the current version before installing the
Pro version. Believing that Bill Gates had finally
straightened out his act, I click continue. It seemed to
have deleted the Home Edition and copied Pro version
files. However, now I am in the loop. When booted, it
offers me Win Home Edition, Recovery Console & Windows Pro
Setup program. When I select Setup program, it says "Setup
cannot locate the Windows installation you want to upgrade"
When I logged into Recovery console, I could detect one
Windows installations in c:\windows directory. How come
setup program doesn't recognize?
When I choose Win XP Home Edition during bootup process,
it offers to upgrade or repair the windows. I am afraid to
select this option because it might wipe out the contents
on the hard disk.
I have so many programs and data files without backup. How
do I recover? I'd appreacite help. Thanks.
