My Dell computer came with WIN XP Home and a reinstall CD. Later I upgraded
to Pro.

Now I want to go back and reinstall XP Home from the Dell system reinstall
CD. But I get an error message saying I can't do that because the XP version
on my computer is newer than the one on the CD.

How can I over ride that?

Never minds- got it. Just reset the boot order and boot from the CD-ROM.
