When I bought the computer it came with the Home Edition. I want to install it back. I am having problems with the Professional Edition. I have the CD's that came with the computer.

The only way to go from Pro to Home is a complete reformat of the system. This means that all of your data will be lost. Back up your important files before proceeding, and then reinstall XP Home per the instructions that came with your computer (if you've lost them, the manufacturer should have an electronic version of those instructions available for download from their web site).

Chances are, the problems you are having with the Professional Edition, you will also have with the Home Edition...could you be more specific about the problem you are having?

Why XP Home?
your XP pro. might get problem.
insert XP CD before restart your comp. then press Esc key to select boost by CD-Rom (to install win XP).
following instructions.
Make sure to backup your partition of your HD first. And also formatting your partition during installing Win XP.
do not forget to install XP SP1(if you have any) so your Win. will be updated easily to SP2

Stick the Windows Home CD in and boot to it. Format the partition and reinstall Home. Make sure you do a thourough backup first.

What the hell do you want to do that for? XP Home sucks! I would find another way to resolve the problem. Try posting a question about the problem and ask for solutions.

WHY the Home edition? Pro has more capabilities.
