if you have the xp installation cd, you can just boot to cd, format your hard drive and throw the english version right on there.

just use the install disk to boot into setup, format and reinstall. works everytime. make sure you backup first.

on the contrary you can put something like Darik's boot and nuke on a floppy or external drive and totally format the drive. i don't trust those "formatting," tools that come on windows cds that magically erases your whole drive and installs your OS within 30 minutes.

1) Google.

2) Google.

3) Open cd drive, put in your os cd. Restart computer. When it starts to boot, itl ask if you want to boot from cd - press enter. Follow on-screen instructions to delete your current partition, create a new one, and reinstall a fresh copy of windows. Do all this after you back up whatever you may need.

4) Google.
