I had XP Pro from 2003 but recently the hard drive went to hell. I
managed to recover with the recovery CD (and a new drive) and some
hacking but that installed XP home which was subsequently upgraded to
SP2.
Now that I've stabilized, I would like to reinstall XP Pro on my
computer but installing the CD gives me the following error:
Setup cannot continue because the version of Windows on your computer
is newer than the version on the CD.
Warning: If you decide to delete the newer version of Windows that is
currently installed on your computer, the files and settings cannot be
recovered.
I'd really not like to lose all my files and settings second time, so
any help turning the install into an upgrade will be appreciated.
