Installing XP Pro
-
Hi! I have Win XP home edition preinstalled. I want to install XP Pro to install. But I do not want to go through, uninstalling xp home and back-uping my entire hard disk to do that. Is there an easy way to upgrade my OS without losing any data? Please help thanks,

You can upgrade to XP Pro, but your still gonna want to back up and you may just be better off doing a fresh install. Matt Newman

After 8 months of use it finally got to the point where enough junk had accumulated to make me want to reinstall from scratch but those 8 months were enough for HP to upload a driver pack so I could do the install from scratch :) James "I despise the city and much prefer being where a traffic jam means a line-up at McDonald's" Me when telling a friend why I wouldn't want to live with him
