Hi,
I just bought this computer with windows XP Pro (korean)
on it. I only have the windows XP home(korean) CD and
was wondering if the pro product key will work for the
home?
thanks
 
No, the XP Pro Product Key will not work with XP Home.

You'll need to purchase a "Full Version" of Windows XP in the
language version you desire, reformat your drive and install it "clean".
