Hi Debi,
if you boot up with the XP CD in the drive you will be able to reinstall.
This will be neccessary to overwrite the existing XP Pro instalat.

I bought a second hand Pentium 4 that has WinXP Pro for demo installed, and 
I would like to install my own (legal) copy of WinXP Home, but when I try

do that (insert disc, run set-up) I get an error message about cannot 
install over a more currect edition.

Is there a way for me to bypass this and just install my WinXP?

Thanks!

Debi
