Sorry, you can't do a repair install on Home with a Pro CD or on Pro with a
Home CD. You *can* use the recovery console, though, but this has some
limits.
So, you'll need to find an appropriate Home CD to do the repair with if the
recovery console doesn't let you fix it. *if* there is an i386 folder on
the hard disk, you might be able to boot to the recovery console and run
winnt.exe from that folder to start the setup for a repair install.
The Pro CD may let you do an upgrade install, but you will need an
appropriate license key. You'll probably need the Home install key for the
Home repair install. Hopefully, the COA is on the case and has this.
If what you need to do is simply recover the files, shut down both machines
and move the hard disk from the other one and add it as an additional drive
in your Pro machine. Then just copy all the files from the old drive to
anywhere there is sufficient space on your Pro machine.
Then, you can do whatever is best for that drive (for example, wipe it and
start over) and simply copy the needed data back.
