Installing English Win XP over Japanese/foregin Win XP

[Robin Kim]

Hello,

I have a computer with Japanese Win XP and would like to
install English Win XP. Does anyone know what would be
the easiest way of doing this? Do I need to do clean
install (format the HD to install English Win XP)? If
yes, what do I have to do? Can I just install English Win
XP over the Japanese version? Would it overwrite Japanese
version?

Thank you for your help in advance.


Sincerely,

Robin Kim

Robin --

You'll need a "full English version" of Windows XP.
Unless you install it on an available empty partition,
then you'll need to perform a "clean install" which
entails reformatting your drive.
