I have Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 2 installed. I want to
upgrade it to Professional with a Win XP Pro disc I have(might be original or
SP1) but it tells me that I am trying to install a older version of XP. How
can I fix this?

Maybe slipstream XP Pro and SP2, then upgrade with the new CD.

Do a Google search for a program called AutoStreamer version 1.0.3.3 - it
will make it easier to do the slipstreaming.
