XP Home Install

Posted: 07-16-2003, 06:47 PM
I purchsed a used computer that had a version of XP Pro on
it and when I wanted to update to SP1 to get the USB 2.0
driver an error message said I had an invalid product
key. I then purchased XP Home Edition and installed it
but now I have XP Pro and XP Home both on my computer and
on the same partition. Do I have to format the partition
and start over or what? I was wondering if I will have a
problem in the future being there are two OS's on the same
partition.

Bryan, if it is not going to be a big issue. I would recommend a clean
install. Just to save yourself from any possible headaches in the fruture.
