    If you chose NTFS when installing XP then you will have to delete and rebuild your HD master partition then format to FAT32 with a ME startup disk, as ME wont install on NTFS.

    Are you going to format the HD first to remove all traces of XP then install ME if so it should be a problem... I wouldnt advise installing ME over the top on XP tho as loads of junk maybe left and cause ME to become unstable.

    Backup all important stuff first before you do anything tho...
