You cant install ME second, only XP. So start with ME and then install XP as a second OS on a different partition/drive

Bad advice. Although installing Me (or 98) after XP screws up the XP boot sector, it should be sufficient to boot from the XP Upgrade CD and when Setup starts choose the repair option, to replace the damaged boot sector. Then it will dual boot fine.
