Using an upgrade disc.. How to boot and intall NEW O/S ??

I can't seem to install my XP Pro upgrade disc (from xp home) as a standalone operating system.
All it wants to do is add XP Pro to the existing software and therefore turn the pc into a dual boot machine.
This isn't what I want.
I want a clean install.

Help!

dam.

Xp home is on a recovery cd rather than a standalone disc and reading up on it further it does indeed look like it can't be done.

So two other choices..

VISTA
or
X64

Both standalone original discs..

I can't see ECUTEK software being vista compatible though
