I am trying to upgrade ME to XP - If I use the upgrade cd it hangs wher it says it is anaylyzing my compuer....it stays here for ever - i end task to get out of it.....if I choose full installation after the first auto-reboot once setup files are copied the system reboots itself and then is in a loop - it keeps reboting when windows starts. I can choose - "run windows" and ME comes back....any thoughts?

Back up files you want and format/install. Upgrading 
rarely goes well. Plus you will inherit WinME problems 
you had before. You should also make sure your box 
can handle XP, or after all is said an done you may be 
disappointed with performance. Here are a couple sites 
with good info if you go this route.
