I was just WONDERING, I have a computer that I bought in the United STATES. On my internal harddrive I have windows XP English version. I live in China and recently bought an external harddrive. I also bought a Chinese version of Windows XP. Would I be able to have 2 versions of Windows XP on my computer?YES.

See this article.Also yes. I have US English XP Professional on DRIVE partition C: and French XP Professional on drive partition D: both on the same - internal - drive.

This is the boot.ini file so that you knwo what to look for...

[boot loader]
timeout=10
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating SYSTEMS]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professionnel" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
C:\CMDCONS\BOOTSECT.DAT="Microsoft Windows Recovery Console" /cmdcons
As an afterthought. Does your English XP happen to be the US English XP Professional version which comes with the Multilingual User Interface (MUI) just in case you have overlooked the presence of the five language CDs?
