Okay so somehow, and I have no clue how, but Windows XP Home installation got fucked up. It kept rebooting after the startup screen. I couldn't find my XP Home CD to repair it. So I went to my school and bought a copy of XP Pro for $15. I was an idiot and bought the full version instead of the upgrade, so I had to install Pro in another directory. I was able to recover my files, but now how do I get rid of the XP Home installation. I don't think I can just delete my c:\Windows directory (Pro is in c:\Windows2). Also is there any was of salvaging any of my programs from XP Home. It's just gonna be a pain to install them again.
