    Hi All

    i just bought satellite a100 with windows home edition (italian version), and i'd like to change it with my win xp pro (eng version), but i dont know how, my dvd-ram wont read my original cd of win xp pro.
    it only read my recovery cd that contain xp Home italian.

    If I can remember correctly, I think you need to buy a new version of Windows specifically for English.
