OK, so I have had such a chaotic day. I just had a thread about getting my admin button not to highlight. Now I'm guilty of accidentally (re)installing Windows 7...but it was the freaking HOME edition, not PRO. I didn't pay attention. *sigh*

Did I just totally screw myself over? Did Home rewrite over Pro? Initially the screen was black, and there were two Windows 7, as follows:

Windows 7
Windows 7

But now the 2 options are gone, the home edition is the only one I can get to come up, and it won't connect to the internet even, despite the stupid thing being connected by cable (not wifi) It just isn't recognizing.

My windows key is for the PRO, and the Home edition is on my son's computer already. He had his disk in my desk. Yes, I'm an idiot. Aside from that, what can I do? I can't find any Windows 7 Pro disk being sold other than the full set. I have the key but I'm reminded why I hate software issues.
