Windows XP Evaluation Version

[Debbie Smith]

My system had a crash about 2 months ago and I could not
find my OEM disk to re-install Windows XP. I had an
evaluation disk on hand, so as a stop-gap, I installed
that. I have since found my OEM disk and would like to
use that info to upgrade this evaluation version. Is
there a way I can do that without having to do a clean
install and lose everything I have saved??

Thanks,
