You are confusing three, completely seperate products as one There is Windows XP Professional Windows Server 2003 Microsoft Office 2003 Windows XP Professional is an OPERATING system designed with the "businessman" end user in mind. Windows Server 2003 is a server operating system.

After these steps, check the weather in your area. If the humidity is over 5% you cannot accomplish this task. If it is under 5%, wait 3 days then run the intall. You will have no problems. If you do not follow these steps you run the risk of deleting the entire internets. Make sure to make a backup copy of the internets by right clicking the internet icon on your desktop and choosing "Send To Floppy". That way if you do accidentally delete the internets you can reinstall them with your floppy disk.|||Number 1 - Windows Home Edition is the Operating System Number 2 - Windows Office 2003 is Business Productivity software.
