Thanks Rich. Wheels within wheels. For reasons too absurd to explain, I have XP Home installed on my PC, but only XP Professional on disk! If I try booting up with this 'incompatible' disk, will it mess up everything?/launch me into a reinstallation I don't want to do?/be ineffective? As you can imagine, I'd rather avoid the first of those two possibilities.
