TRIED TO UPGRADE FROM XP HOME TO PRO, THE PRO INSTALL DISC SAYS I HAVE A

What I would recommend is slipstreaming that XP Pro disk with XP SP2.

Please don't yell at us. We can hear you if you type normally, in
mixed case.

Presumably you have SP2 installed, and your XP Professional
Upgrade is without it, so is an older version that what's
installed.

If I'm right, you have two choices:


1. Uninstall SP2, do the upgrade, then reinstall SP2.

2. Create a slipstreamed version of XP Professional, including
SP2 and use it. See
