on my computer I have installed windows pro and also windows home. when i get
into windows home and try to install an update from microsoft it asks for the
pro disk which i no longer have and when i'm in pro it asks for the home disk
and either way i try i get an error. I have the windows home edition still
but this is confusing me a little...

Perform a "clean install" of the Windows XP operating system you
actually own and have the proper CD and Product Key for.

What is the verbatim error message?

In the meantime: Why can't I download updates?
