Best Answer: I'd recommend not messing with it any more, and taking it in to a best buy/computer shop/other big name brand CPU store and asking them to recover your hard drive, information is never fully deleted, but it becomes more inaccessible as time goes on.
Re:Unless you just want to tinker w/ it XP is Beta and not what you want. Go for 2000 now or if you want wait until XP. Either way it *SHOULD* be a step up from Me (2000 definatley will be, I'm pretty sure XP will be but MS has this way of really screwing up things so it could go sour).
Re:Do a clean install. The NT5 kernel (Win2000 and soon WinXP) and the Win9x kernel (Win95,98,ME) are very very different..I wouldn't try an overlay.
And converting to NTFS is always a good idea.
Re:thanks guy

Re:I highly recommending running Win2k Pro on a an independent HDD. That way the user can format the HDD in NTFS. NTFS allows Win2k Pro to support additional security features. Secondly, you can dualboot, but do not upgrade from WinME. You will be better off installing Win2k on a clean HDD. Trust me. You will see why after you have Win2k Pro the way you want it.
