Hi Guys,
Greetings!

I can see that this forum is full of experts, and I wonder if some of them could lend me some advice.

I have bought HP-dv4450 here in Italy. I think it's a great buy but the only problem I have is, it has got Windows XP Home installed in Italian and there is no option to change the language. Although I stay in Italy, I don't understand Italian. When I contacted HP Supports they said that they can not provide Windows English version.

Now, I have found SP2 in English and want to instal it on the machine, but it would require complete formating of my hard drive. Would you please answer,

1) When I do the complete formating, I lose all the software, including QuickPlay. Although I don't care about other software b'cos I have to instal English versions of those anyway (such as MS Office), I am worried about QuickPlay. Would I be able to instal that again once I format my hard drive.
Please note that HP hasn't provided me any disk. All what I have are 2 dvd I created from the recovery system.

Please advise at the earliest.
Thanks,
