upgrading home to pro

Im trying to upgrade to the XP Pro and have received the following
message...cannot find file specified...d:\j386\WINNTUPG\NETUPGRD.DLL I
currently have the XP Home running. I was attempting to upgrade onto my
laptop using the install wizard. What do I need to do to get that file? Any
info is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

1. Purchase a conventional "Retail Version" of Windows XP Professional.
2. Uninstall your antivirus program.
3. Perform a backup of your important documents and files to a CD.
4. Disconnect all hardware peripheral devices, except the monitor, keyboard and mouse.
5. While running Windows XP Home, insert the Windows XP Pro CD in the drive and select
the default "Upgrade" setup option. [Do not select "New Installation"]
6. Visit the Windows Update site to download all the critical updates.
