Default Upgrading from XP Pro to Media Centre 2005?

I have the disks, can i just upgrade or do i need to reinstall? can't find much info on the web about upgrading as Media Centre usually comes pre installed on Media Centre PC's.

Cheers

As a rule, if the disk just says media Centre and not Media Centre Upgrade then I'm afraid you will need to do a fresh install.

You cannot upgrade any version of xp to media center. You have to do a fresh install (no such thing as a media center upgrade)...
