DO NOT SWITCH PRO FOR HOME
if you have xp proffessional you DO NOT want XP home XP home sucks

Howdy:

Gotta agree with dsenette.. Unless your XP Pro version is pirated then I would suggest the change asap !!

Murray

[jellesi]

yes its pirated how do i change it to my original windows home

[Murray S.]

You should be able to boot using your XP Home cd.. When given the option to remove all partitions and install XP Home, use it!!

that's a kick in the [bleep] .. having to go from pro to home....sorry

and on the note of pirated software:

why don't pirates like to go to China?

[S A A B]

They do like to go there. 79% of the software there is fake or pirated.

Btw, Pro or Home doesnt matter, they both suck in a different way.

[dsenette]

[dsenette]

if you boot off of the cd it will give you the option to remove the old partition

[Murray S.]

Yes you can unless your Home version is pirated as well..

Why don't you just try.. you have more people here telling you that's the way to do it.. and, WHO told you that you had to delete the old partition first before you even try installing XP Home??

Setup cannot continue because the version of Windows on your computer is newer than the version on the CD.

[Murray S.]

That is the message you get when you use the option to "boot from the cd-rom"??

And, what is the first option you get after the "boot from cd" option??

Otherwise, you are going to need a Win98SE or WinME boot floppy and use the fdisk option to remove the NTFS partition!!
