ok so he puts in the new os disk and then looks for the format option? so if he misses it...will the puter now be a duel boot? i think he just wants the english xp. he and i never put a new os on before... so not sure of anything.

he can also install it OVER his previous OS, allowing him to keep all his information, however, it would be a lot cleaner to use something like an external HD to save the files
