Windows blue screen flash after upgrading win xp home with win xp pro

    I tried upgrading win xp home with win xp pro, which according to the sticky i shouldnt have done! I lost my original win xp home cd so was using a win xp pro copy i got.

    Now after i finished upgrading i get the 'windows wans not shut down properly, please select one of these options, safe mode....' then when i select any of these i get the blue screen flash and it restarts.

    Before i did the upgrade i got a message saying that the win will not recognise ur hd as it is greater than 137G i dont know if this has anything to do with it, i have 2 HD a 40G which came wi pc and a 160G which i installed bout 4 mths ago.

    I tried reparing it but am getting the same error ever time after set up. Dont want to try a full reinstall cause i stupidly never backed up my files.

    Can i just repair with a win xp home CD or do i have to do a full reinstall?
    Cheers if anyone can help
