The good folks here at PCMECH talked me into being a good techie and I went out and bought a new copy of WIN XP HOME to replace a less than legal version of XP PRO.
I had a little problem on the installation of the new OS>

I could not format the C: drive that the Pro version was on. I could not get it to boot with XP HOME boot disks.

So I booted up with PRO floppies and formatted and then shut down and boot up thru my new HOME CD.

There has to be an easier way. I am installing as I type and it looks like this way will work but.......
