Look into XP's files and settings transfer wizard. I think you will find that it
will do exactly what you are looking for. Each OS needs its own device drivers.
Drivers written for ME won't necessarily work on XP and vice versa. When you installed
XP, did you take the first drive out or did you leave it in? If, when you boot your
machine you get a choice of either XP or ME, then you have a dual boot machine, which
is what I am trying to determine.
