Load needed DLLs for kernel

My other computer tells me this when I start it up. Problem is I only have a
Windows XP Professional disc. The other computer runs Windows XP Home
Edition. Could I use this disc to repair my other computer? i.e. do an
in-place installation. Or better yet could I at least load Windows XP
Professional on this computer and not lose all the files on it?

You cannot use a Windows XP Professional CD to perform a
repair install on a system running Windows XP Home Edition.
You would need the original XP Home CD. Also, you cannot
install Windows XP Pro on another computer unless you purchase
a new license (Product Key) since Product Activation will not permit
activation on a different computer using the same Product Key.

If you already have a retail copy of Windows XP, you can obtain
additional licenses for another computer or laptop by visiting the
