Can't upgrade sql server 2000 from professional to standard edition.

Hello Members,
I by accident installed SQL server 2000 personal edition
on a Windows 2000 server. I want to upgrade it to
standard edition to allow for more threads and users.
When i put in the standard cd and get to the upgrade
screen, the option for upgrade is grade out and I can't
click it.
Does anybody know why this happens and what I can do to
upgrade to the standard edition.
Regards,
Bill Gianoukos.
PS.. please also feel free to email me responses to
billg@.otpas.comBill,
I dont know why the upgrade option is grayed out in this case.Did you check
the log files for any hints/error messages?
