why can't you install partition magic ? it should be ok, all XP's are unicode compliant.

You can install japanese on an "english" system, and vice versa, all you have to do is install the fonts and select "japanese" in the languages, change the IME annd bobs your uncle.

set system locale to japanese
set user locale to japanese
switch on japanese IME
set code pages to japanese

you wont get japanese text on the dialogs, at least on anything that doesn't have it, but everything else will change.

There should be no conflicts, only the locale and the text changes.
