Hi

You can't change the Language of XP. You will have to purchase a full
retail English version XP CD. You can then either install the English
version instead of the German one or dual-boot both.

Greetings --

You cannot upgrade or convert from one language version of the OS
to another, so you'll have to purchase and use the full version of
English WinXP to perform a clean installation.
