Had XP Home. Purchased XP Pro upgrade. Due to various issues I wish to repair
or fully reinstall the XP Pro. Says "cannot continue as version on computer
is newer than on the CD." Re "newer", is it because on computer is SP2 &
all updates?
Says to uninstall using Add/ Remove programmes, but does not list there.
Xp Pro book says cannot uninstall XP Pro if----
(1) Changed H/D configuration, eg. from FAT to NTFS or created new partitions.
(2) Upgraded from NT 4.0 or 2000.
All do not apply.
Re newer version, could it be that if I uninstalled SP2 (would still have
the updates) that it would not see it as "newer" & allow me to repair or
fully reinstall.
Could you please assist?
