If you ran the XP compatibility program from Microsoft and the cd did not come up then it's not your CD Drive.
One thing to check in your BIOS is try making your CD-ROM the first boot device.
I always found it's best to do a clean install of XP Pro, you can backup the files you want to keep and reload all the programs later. If your ME was unstable and constantly crashing more than likely XP will be screwed also.

you should think about doing a clean install, upgrades are sloppy
