Hi Claire
When upgrading from ME to XP, there is always the possibility that data/applications
may be lost. Not always, however, a possibility anyway.
At the end of the day, invest in an imaging application, such as Norton Ghost. You
can Ghost the entire copy of your HDD and replace as originally Ghosted in approximately
15mins to ............. depending on how much data you have on there.
Sorry to be so negative, but we have all been there before.

Good luck
