In xp home,before installing xp pro,run the file transfer wizard,set
computer as old,then select the files/settings you want saved,save to
a new folder you created,once data is saved,transfer to a cd.Once
youre ready to install pro, as microsoft puts it "Thier is no upgrade
from home to pro" you need to do
a clean installation of pro (boot to xp cd),once the drive is
reformatted
and pro
is installed,run the file transfer wizard from home.

You are a f*****t. A moronic, clueless, cretinous, imbecilic, idiotic,
stupid, thick-headed, numb-skulled d*****d. When are you going to get it
into your pea-sized brain that, when it comes to anything technological, a
three-year-old has more idea than you do?! I have just Googled for you at
your current address and, since you started posting, I haven't seen a single
post that: -
a) Makes sense
b) Shows any kind of technical aptitude* whatsoever
c) Has been researched
That's a very big word for you. You may need to avail yourself of a
dictionary (of course, I'm making a huge assumption that you actually know
what one is...)
Welcome to the Moron of the Month Award's permanent Hall of Shame. Others'
stays might be brief but, by displaying total and utter ineptitude and
complete unwillingness to learn, you have proven that you're so devoid of
clue that, until you learn, you deserve a wall all to yourself.
I wonder how many systems you've destroyed with your 'advice'? One day,
someone's going to sue you because they believed you knew what you were on
about.
Now, I suggest you either go on a course to learn at least the basics and
then, when you have proven you have a clue, you may return; or, if you don't
wish to do that don't bother ever posting here again because, from now on,
every dangerous and misleading post you make is being reported to MS. OTOH,
there is evidence that you wish to deliberately cause harm: -
1) You always post via the CDO (which means only MS can log your IP)
2) You never return to any thread in which you've posted.
3) Your 'advice', as well as being dangerous, is so poorly written that
it could be easily misconstrued. I suggest you take remedial English along
with that computer class. You obviously never attended any English lessons
at school (though I'm making another big assumption that you ever went to
school...)
So, Andrew, your choice. You either put up and take some advice - or you
shut up and never post again. It's entirely up to you.
Karla,
As a newbie around these parts, I should tell you one golden rule - never
*ever* *EVER* follow any 'advice' posted by Andrew the Eejit ('eejit', in
case you didn't know, is an Irish word for 'idiot'). He has shown time and
again that he doesn't have the first clue about anything technical and his
'advice' is to be ignored completely. I'd killfile him if I were you...
Especially when he quotes MS as stating "there is no upgrade from Home to
Pro". He states this because he can't be arsed to check his facts and
probably actually *wants* you to do more work than necessary.

Don't listen to him.
