    I have a question on how you overwrite windows xp. The reason is I have windows xp home eddition and wanna overwrite it with windows XP profesional. I'm also curious on why my Drivers won't format, I tell them to format but they either say they can't or they say they can't because utilities are running.So if you would can I have some information on those 2 subjects.

    You need to boot off the XP Pro cd. When prompted, Delete the partitions and then recreate it. You'll then be prompted to format...Course you know you'll lose Everything on the drive;)

    Why XP Pro ?

    Hi drakonic. There are no extra features in Pro that you will be able to take advantage of in a home environment. Everything that you want to do in Pro you can also do in Home.
