Re: XP upgrade and ME Upgrade CD.

Remember you do NOT have to install ME. All you need do is start to install
the Windows XP upgrade and when it asks for a qualifying product take the CD
out and put in the ME CD upgrade in. It will qualify and then you return
your XP Upgrade CD back to the CD Player and away you go.
