How do I install Windows XP Pro with SP1 on my computer when my computer has
Wndows XP Home with SP2? When I try SETUP.EXE, I get an error message
telling me that my current operating system is newer than the one I'm trying
to install. Is there any way to uninstall SP2 or do I need to do a clean
setup?

Click to expand...

Uninstall SP2 through Control Panel --> Add/Remove Programs..
But stay disconnected from the Internet during your upgrade until you get
SP2/Firewall back on.

Or Slipstream SP2 into your Windows XP Pro setup CD and burn a new CD to
install with..
