Hi there,

I've been trying to upgrade from Home to Pro in order to
take advantage of the additional security etc. I'm chosing
the upgrade feature on the CD but as I progress through
the upgrade I've noticed that Windows installs a second
version on my computer so that I have in effect two
operating systems on the same hard drive. Removing this
operating system is a frustrating and time consuming
process. What am i doing wrong. Can someone point me in
the right direction with like a step-by-step guide or
something?

Thanks in advance,
D
 
From XP Home pop the XP Pro CD into the drive and wait for the install
screen. Select Install->Upgrade [recommended]. If you do not get that option
then you have an OEM version of XP Pro and can not use it to upgrade with.
Your only option will be New Installation. That could be your problem.
