It let's me retry, copies the install files again but gets stuck at the same
point again.
I would be happy just to rollback the upgrade to XP home.
I am able to go to the recovery console and tried
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/875355/en-us
but the path to the uninstall does not seem to exist.
Any ideas would be appreciated
NB: I run the compatibility test prior the upgrade and it said all was OK

To Ignorant Andrew E,
I will just paste Shenan's last reply.
And as a provoking thought, should you trust advice from someone that cannot
spell "their"? If you check the http://snipurl.com/s45j link, you will see
he repeatedly spells "their" as "thier".
Andrew,
When you get one wrong (like this one) the first time - and it is proven to
you that it was the incorrect assumption - repeating it over and over does
not make it true.
Examples of your incorrect statement - over and over:
http://snipurl.com/s45j
The same answer I continue to give to prove to you that your assumption is
completely and totally false:
Andrew E. has been incorrect about this many times - but refuses (or perhaps
cannot comprehend) the fact that upgrading from Windows XP Home to Windows
Professional is supported and one of the easiest paths to follow.
Windows XP supported upgrade paths

That article clearly shows a path from Windows XP Home Edition to Windows XP
Professional Edition..

What are the supported upgrade paths to Windows XP?

Wow. Again.
Andrew E. insists that there is no upgrade path from Windows XP Home Editon
to Windows XP Professional Edition.
Maybe this is like one of those things where if you believe hard enough, you
really want it, you click your heels together three times and...
Nope. That upgrade path just won't go away. *grin*

How To Ask Questions The Smart Way

Or you could try doing this first, updating your BIOS to its latest
version.
Do you have a spare Hard Drive laying around or can borrow one. Maybe
disconnect your Hard Drive, put your spare one in, then try installing
XP from Fresh. See if this error still exists. If it does, then you
know for sure that it's hardware related. If this is the case I would
go for RAM re-seating, then BIOS upgrade and trying to install XP
freshly, if this then works, then you can put your hard drive back in,
try the upgrade again.
Let us know how you go.
