My laptop running winxp home sp/2 was powered off abruptly. Since
then it will start but only goes to the screen showing window Pre
startup screen. No way to go any furhter.
I'd like to take this opportunity to upgrade from home to pro as well
as fix whatever is broken.
I'd like to do this `in place' if possible. I do own licensed copies
of xp pro on CD.
I find piles of confusing and contradictory info by googling on
`upgade windows home to windows xp'
Hoping someone can direct me to tried and proven information to
accomplish the goal stated above.
