Yes that is the problem i have right now Home with SP2 intalled, I want to
change for may original Pro SP1 and them load the SP2, but i can not, you can
help me saying me how?

I do not want to return to the people that change the hard drive, i do not
want to return to some body who I gave the Original disk to install original
software and they simple load other one.
