Angry XP not loading

hi fellas
i am having problems loading XP on to a laptop which was preloaded with Win HOME edition.
I wanted to install win XP pro so i formated it and loaded win98 with the idea of up grading it to winXP but after successfully loading win98.
XP pro after reaching the restart stage it keeps askin me for an XP cd.
And i have done this for 5 times but to no avail wat can i do? am in a mix
