I don't like upgrading an OS because of the problems you are having. But, having said that I am not sure you can use the same disk for 98 and ME to upgrade to XP. Even if you could you will not be able to activate both computers as M.S. has the rule of one license per computer, unless one has a multiple license copy of Win XP.
