The upgrade from XP Home to XP Pro should not make any
difference, since the differences between Home and Pro have
nothing to do with burning, except that there may be drivers
that were not carried over when the install took place.
Remove the drive with device manager and reboot, it should
be detected and fresh drivers installed.
And it is true, when you upgrade the OS, you become the OEM
responsible for your tech support.
