Start/Control Panel/Add or Remove Programs/scroll down towards the
bottom and find "Windows XP Service Pack 2"/click it to highlight
it/click "Remove'. After removal completes, install your upgrade to XP
Pro/then re-install Service Pack 2/then go to the Windows Update site.
Fool around with slipstreaming AFTER you get Prof up and running. Then
use it the next time you have to re-install XP [that time always comes].
