Hi everyone,

My Windows Xp CD is not in English (yeah, I'm not from here...). So, I was wondering if someone can install that OS as English, pretty much like some linux distributions allow you.

Is there any way to do that (Do win cds have the languages already on them?) I was thinking about that because I have the SP2 install file on my computer (actually, I have two notebooks, both with a win CD. One Home and the other is Pro). I don't want to upgrade both of them through Windows Update, just because I have 56k now (cancelled my cable because I'm returning to Brazil). Also, I don't want to give even more money to Uncle Bill by buying another two CDs....

Any help... would help...

A possible idea

If they are legitimate copy's, if you have a friend with an english copy of each version, you should be able to make a copy of both of their cd's and then just use your CD keys

My Notebook's original windows XP version was Chinese. So i got my english copy of windows XP from my desktop and installed it with the key provided on the bottom of the lappy. Works just fine.
