can NTSwitch fool Your Win2003 installer, pretending XP to be .Net Server ?

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Before I jump the gun and try something that I will probably regret, I was planning on installing Windows 2003 Server Standard onto my existing Windows XP Pro (SP1). &nbsp;Is it possible to do this? &nbsp;If it is not, will it simply overwrite all my programs and hard drive or will I get warned that it is not possible?<br />

Thanks

Upgrading from Windows XP Pro to Windows Server 2003 Standard

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
