Ratman · 07-09-2003, 05:45 AM

Today I bought a Sharp Mebius laptop, model PC-CB1-CD. Athlon mobile 1.1G, 256K, 30G HDD, CD-r/rw DVD combo drive, LAN, 2xUSB 2. It was a super bargain!

I don't mind using the Japanese XP. However, my desktop is English W2k, as is all of my software (Office, ClipArt, etc.). I know there can be conflict w/ English software and Japanese OS's, so I'd like to load my w2k to the laptop. Can I do this by just inserting the w2k cd and creating a new partition? I could also use a USB HDD for w2k, but would rather not.

Any advice?
