I need some assistance. When I try to upgrade to Windows XP Pro from Windows XP Home,
I get a message that it cannot do an upgrade (one that does not lose existing programs),
because it cannot find "netmap.inf".

I am presently running Windows Service Pack 1.

Can anybody tell me how to restore netmap.inf so I can do the upgrade?

Thank you,

Janet

where did you get your original version of xp home? did it come installed with the computer? do you have the xp home disk? (not a system restore disk but the ACTUAL cd?)

XP Home version came installed on the computer. I got a Recovery CD, but that wasn't working when I tried to use it. The installation I'm trying to do now is an actual Windows XP Professional CD.

It wants the Netmap.inf information in order to do the upgrade. I don't want to do a destructive install, just an upgrade.

Thank you for responding.

so you do not have an xp HOME cd correct? just a recovery cd?

I have a Recovery CD and I have a Windows XP Professional CD.
The XP Pro upgrade is what I'm trying to install.

Thank you for answering.
