Windows XP Pro upgrade will not run on New Dell Win XP home pc

[MMJII]

Hello All,
I hav a 10 user lic. win xp pro upgrade cd Oct 2001.
When I try to load on a new dell px with win xp home i get a message saying
if can't run because the upgrade is old. Does this mean my win xp pro
upgrade cd is no longer good? I only used it 3 times to upgrade win xp home
e machines, and it worked flawlessly. Is there some major difference in win
xp pro Oct 2001, and win xp home today?
Any ideas are greatly appreciated

It appears your version of Windows XP Pro
does not include SP2. To resolve this issue,
you can easily make a new Windows XP Pro
CD with SP2 slipstreamed in, then upgrade.

Either one of the following utilities makes slipstreaming
(integrating) SP2 into Windows XP a breeze:

or

AutoStreamer 1.0.33 (preferred)
