You have to buy a full install English XP CD and license.
If you are willing to do a clean install, you can use an OEM
CD from Microsoft (the kind sold for home-builders). You
will have to boot the computer with the CD and format the
had drive. You will need a retail XP full install if you
want to create a dual boot system and keep the Korean system
too.

Hi

You can't change the language. You will have to purchase a full retail
English version XP CD and then you can either install the English version
instead of the Korean one, or dual boot both.

By obtaining an English version of Windows XP and installing
it. WinXP's core language can't be changed.

unfortunatly you cannot change korean into english.
You will have to get an english version of XP.

So the answer is NO it cannot be done.

The other way around IS possible, turning english XP into other languages
with the use of MUI packages.

These are hard to find and you can find them only if your OEM supplier can
get them for you or you download them from a p2p network like edonkey.

You can't change the language. Just buy an english WinXP version.

How can I carry out this job?

Install the english version on a fresh formatted drive or on another
partition.

Please do a search on google on XP MUI and stop giving false information.

In his case he cannot do anything but the lang of XP can change if the
original installation is in English.

I am reposting here a post I posted a few days ago ( so your answer is to
use emule and search for windows xp MUI):


It can be done in 2 ways.
1) you buy the a version of windows that is in the lang you want and install
that.
2) You find the MUI package for XP in the lang you want and install that.
MUI is multi user interface and can be found only from OEM providers of XP
since there is not a download for it and MS does not sell it.

Since it is hard to obtain you can try looking on the p2p networks for it,
like the edonkey one using a client like emule (www.emule-project.net/).
Have in mind that probably this is not legal since swapping software from
p2p networks may infringe copyrights. I am not sure about MUI since MS does
not sell it.. but you can look it up.
The best and sure way is to ask from an OEM provider close to you to try to
get it for you on cd.

You just install that and from the control panel you select the lang you
want to use. This works ONLY if your original XP is in ENGLISH.

Emended to "WinXP's core language can't be changed" unless
it's English".
