Copy and paste should do it. But I assume you mean something else. Please explain.

yeah... its some much more than just a simple copy and paste would help. Before the windows boot up it ask me which operating system do i want to use, and it gives me the options of xp home and xp pro. I am able to chose which ever one i want, but which ever os i chose its like im on a totally different computer. To explain it more better, the files and settings and everthing else that i have on home i cannot see when i am in pro.
