*I have a four year old Dell desktop that was factory equipped with XP Home
addition. Some time ago I had upgraded to XP Professional. Now I intend to
give the computer to my grand daughter and I'd like to format the hard drive
and reinstall the original operating system for her. However when I place
the original CD in the drive and click on the reinstall option, I get a "can
not do" response. Something about cannot downgrade to XP Home. *

*Is there a way around this installation problem?*
