hey no problem .. if u have atleast two drives in ur system ur data wont be lost except ur installed softwares such as MSword ..
be sure u do back up(copy paste ) ur valuable datas to the d drive
or in to other drive
i think ur os sits in c drive.. copy all ur data to d drive.
now restart ur system after inserting ur winxp cd.
the system runs the set up files for win xp. at the time of installing ur xp
shows eg..
c 150000mb
d 126548mb
wat u have to do is place the cursor on c drive and press d . this will delete all the files in the drive. after deleting
the screen looks like
free 15000mb
d 11256mb
now place the cursor on free space and press enter
the next question will be about formating
choose ntfs (for better performance) and press enter
now the system starts installing the winxp.

It is a very difficult upgrade from ME to XP. Professional software installers and computer repairmen avoid it like the plague. In theory you will not lose anything, but you must be prepared to be aggravated.
Wiping the system and installing XP is much easier, but then you will lose all your files.
