XP DISC PROBLEM

I get a message on windows setup to insert a disc, when the disc I'm using
has been used to intall windows before. It is a HOME SP2 edition and has
upgrade on it, does that makes any difference? It boots from disc to check
pc, but then i get that once at install. Thanks please help

I assume that you are trying to install XP on a hard drive that does not
have a system on it. If so, the *upgrade* version looks for a qualifying
system to upgrade and not finding one, it tells you to insert a disk (like a
W98 system disk) of a qualifying system.
