Upgrade Win Media Center to XP Pro

Hello,

I need to upgrade a media center pc to XP pro (i need terminal
services/remote desktop), I have tried running an upgrade from the disk
(XPPRO-XP2 ) but I still get a media center windows when its done. It did
prompt me for XP Pro CD2(which doesn't exist) and was looking for the media
center components, which it didn't find, I simply skipped all the files I
didn't have (execpt for the first .inf file it wanted, which I loaded from
the old windows/inf/ folder - maybe I should skip that next time.)

Is it possible to keep the settings of the pc and upgrade to pro? What
procedure needs to be followed?

Thanks in advance

Mogamat

You can't upgrade, it must be a clean installation.
