| 350404 | 2005-05-01 16:01:00 | Y dont u try first delete the partition then recreate it, this will loose everything. Also, Microsoft has a language pack cd, which allows you to install other languages into your current os to become multiple language which you can change in control panel. Cant remember where you can get it, mayb u can do a search in the microsoft website :D |
