If you want to use your mom cd:
1. It's OEM version of OS (won't work on other computer than the one it's activated on),
2. It is illegal

,
3. If you want XP Home you need to do clean install (not an upgrade). You can do the upgrade to XP Pro only from 2k pro.

Agreed. I could sell you XP Pro for cheap. PM me if you are interested.
