Best Answer

Yes. Any System that's capable of running windows xp home edition can basicall run xp pro. What you need to do is not different from what was done at the time of loading windows xp home edition... the only difference is that xp pro will need its own product key + activation and it is normally a bit expensive than xp home. Good luck!

It's a good choice. You need to backup all your data, after that you need to boot from a windows xp bootable CD (SP3 is preferred, if you are using AHCI or will have install the ahci controller driver manually). Follow instruction. When you see the screen with partitions choise, pick the partition with Vista installed in it, and use quick format. After that just follow instructions.
