Thanks for the reply. That's pretty much what I'm try to do. I just don't want to have to install the Windows XP Home to upgrade to Windows XP Pro. If I remember right, there was a way to just add the files that older Windows upgrades were looking for to keep from having to insert the disc of the previous version. If I have to have both versions on a dvd that's fine with me if I can avoid having to install Windows XP Home. So I'm off to look for that post now...unless you already know where it is. Thanks again.
