upgrade from xp home to xp pro

[Becky Rush]

I'm trying to upgrade from home to pro - but after it
checks the hardware configuration (and says its ok) it
goes to restart, and either freezes or a blue screen
(with writing) flashes and it restarts again.

I'm afraid I'm going to crash the whole thing. xp Home
works fine except for some occasional freezing, but I
thought pro may take care of it.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hi

Could please post 'the writing'. Someone then will be able to help you.

forget it...Home is fine...you have other probs there...not XP...

As I stated - the blue screen 'flashes' there's no time
to read what's on it. Sorry.

What do you mean? hardware problems? I'm just not sure
how to narrow down what's actually causing the problem.

Pro will not help your problems, go to Computer Management, Event Viewer and
look for errors. You can click on the error and look at the error message.
