Hello. I am in Japan and I bought a new HP laptop (I came with XP Home
Edition). As I develop internet pages in japanese I set up the XP Language as
Japanese. Now I want to partitionate my HDD with an English version of
Partiion Magic I own, but I can not use it as the file names use kana and it
may cause corruption on them and in the volume labels. Can I change XP's
language from japanese to english now? How? And would it resolve my problem?
Thank you very much.
Yo

Either purchase a Japanese version of Partition Magic
or perform a "clean install". You'll need to purchase
a "full version" of Windows XP English version.

Hi,

I use an English version of Partition Magic on Japanese computers all the
time and never had any problems resizing the hard drives.
