Upgrade Home to Pro

[Guest]

About six months ago I updated my HP pavillion 7905 from its factory installed Home to XP Pro. It has been running fine since then. I recently had to do a system restore on the HP so it reloaded with Home. While trying to upgrade to XP I get the following message: "unable to load the file D:\i386\WINNTUPG\NETUPGRD.dll 1% is not valid v32 application". Anyone have any ideas before i plunk down cash to microsoft for an answer to the problem?
