upgrading xp he sp1 to xp pro - dvd-ram uncompatability

Service Pack 1 is basically the same between Home Edition and Professional
Edition. After upgrading to Professional edition, you can simply reinstall
SP1 from the web or whatever media you installed it from in the first place.
The Windows Update site will detect whether you need SP1 installed or not.
