Windows XP >> Windows XP Installation Currently I have a Korean Windows XP Professional in my pc. Since some
applications look ugly under my non-english XP, I'd like to change it to
English Version of Windows XP. Because I understand Korean xp is not
qualified for upgrade to english xp, I am going to upgrade from my old
English version of Windows 98 SE.

As far as I know, during the installation of XP, upgrade versionof XP seeks
qualified products to proceed installation. To do this, do I have to delete
all korean version of windows xp, such as windows directory? I am just
wondering if english windows xp upgrade terminates installation procedure
once it finds korean version of windows xp since it is not qualified or if
it still prompts message like "Insert qualified product cd" so that I can
insert my windows 98 se for validation.

What I want to do is English Windows XP upgrade installation from Windows 98
SE without repartitioning or formating and keep current file system. So, if
english xp upgrade cd finds korean xp professional during installation and
terminates installation, I think I have to delete some files or folders of
windows xp to make english windows xp unable to detect my korean windows xp
professional. In this case, what folder or file should I delete?

Thank you very much.

Just do a clean install.
