Hi Doug,
I have a retail copy of XP. How can I upgrade if I already have xp pro
installed?
What should I do?
Thanks!
Gerry

Do you have a retail copy of XP? Or did your computer come with XP
preinstalled? If the latter, then what you have is probably a recovery CD,
and you won't be able to do an upgrade installation from it.
In some cases, you can look for a folder called I386 on your hard disk.
Once found, locate the WINNT32.EXE file and double clck it. This is the
Windows setup executable.
If none of the above applies to you, you may need to bite the bullet, backup
what you cannot afford to lose and reinstall from scratch.
