Windows Vista Edition Family Premium Reload

My WVHP crashed and he was not recoverable, despite several attempts.  I reloaded my original WXP Pro and I am trying to reload my WVHP upgrade CD.

When I enter the product key for HP tells me that an existing version of Windows must be installed (there is the XP Pro) and, in addition, I do not get a prompt for a clean install.

Another thing, just as a lark and see if the hard drive or the BIOS had problems I loaded Win7 temporarily, of a pure install and it worked fine.  I loaded a new installation of XP Pro on it and then tried the Vistga upgrade.  Anyone have any ideas?

Hello

XP Pro to Vista home Premium is NOT a upgrade path
