I want to change from German ( operating system language) to english. Its
clear from previous few messages that, I will have to purchase english
version of it and perform clean installation. Can I do this by just putting
the english version CD into CD drive and ask the computer to install it? Or I
must format the old German version first and then install English version?

Just use the English version to perform the format and clean install.

The fact that your old version is German isn't relevant. You
don't have to format first; it will be done as part of the clean
installation. To do a clean installation, just boot from the
Windows XP CD (change the BIOS boot order if necessary to
accomplish this) and follow the prompts for a clean installation
(delete the existing partition by pressing "D" when prompted,
then create a new one).
