    Hi

    Did you install XP to another partition or upgraded to XP over ME?

    If you are getting a boot menu when you start computer:

    All you should have to do is edit your boot.ini file

    Go to c:\ drive in windows explorer and look for boot.ini file in root folder of c: and right click and choose Edit

    file will look like this

    boot loader]
    timeout=3
    default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOW S
    [operating systems]
    multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows ME" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn
    multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(7)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
    What you would need to do is remove the line that is related to Windows ME and then choose File and then Save

    This will remove any boot option menu that shows up when starting PC

    Now you can remove any folders that you have on C:\ that is related to Windows ME only - if not sure, keep
