Changing language from korean to english

[nicholas driessens]

Hi I've brought a computer in Korea and it has Korean
windows XP installed on it and I was wondering is there
anyway I can get it to run in english. If so how do I do
it?, or if I can't what version of English windows xp do I
need to buy the upgrade or the whole package.
If anyone can answer please email me at
(e-mail address removed) any help would be greatly
appreciated.

One cannot change the language version to another language
version in Windows XP.

You must purchase the "Full English Version" of Windows XP,
reformat your drive and install it "clean". The alternative is to
create a dual-boot configuration which requires an available,
empty partition. You can purchase and use Partition Magic 8
(www.powerquest.com) to accomplish this.

If you have a desktop computer, or a notebook computer that
will accept a second hard drive, you can install a second hard
drive and install the "Full English Version" on it and end up
with a dual language boot configuration.
