There is no real advantages to pro over home, esp not if your gonna have to format/reinstall.
Thats because my dad has some programs that only work on pro
boot the xp cd
hit enter
hit f8
hit r
There isn't a bargepole long enough for me to work on [a Sony Viao] - clocker 2008
Like what? I've never heard of that before, since both OS are the same except for networking, security and multilanguage options.
Anyway i think you'll need to format to install pro. Home to Pro isn't an upgrade option.
edit: actually chewie's advice will probably work, repair install.

I am not sure, my dad just told me he needs to install pro. I dont know this techical stuff, i will ask him if it is totally necarry
I cannot see any reason why anyone in the world needs pro unless your copy isn't legal as pro (corp) doesn't require activation.
