You will need to use the retail upgrade or full version of XP Pro. The OEM
version of XP PRO will only do clean installs. The OEM version cannot
upgrade your current system without deleting the current system during the
setup, or by using FDISK to do the same prior to booting the XP CD to run
setup.
