keyboard layout issue

I have a Japanese Toshiba laptop, which of course has a Japanese layout
keyboard, 87 keys(I counted). After replacing my HDD and installing English
WindowsXP, I can not get it to recognize correctly. The 2 button when shifted
displays @ and not quote, and the open/close parentheses are shifted one key
to the right. How can I fix this? I've tried ControlPanel/Regions &
languages, but to no avail. Please help. Letters and numbers are OK, but
symbols are ... like playing CONCENTRATION. Also, CAPS LOCK doesn't work.
