Hi,
Infact you are trying to downgrading.
you are getting this error as you are trying to install XP Home over
your exsisting XP PRO.You can never do this.
You have to go for a clean install with a XP Home CD.
Enter the BIOS and change boot order must be set so CD boots before
hard drive.Insert XP Home CD into CD drive. Press ENTER to resume
booting from the XP CD.
