Recently on powering up the system it went in to a reboot loop. After working through that it stopped at a screen asking which operating system to run (XP or ME). I'm assuming that means I still have ME on the hard drive and need to uninstall, but strangely enough, I am unable to locate it - and once I did, how would I safely uninstall it?

Suggestions most appreciated..!

Has it happened again, or was that just a fluke? Did you at one time have an ME install?

Oh, sorry. Didn't think about that - The pc was purchased w*admin installed and upgraded to XP when it came out.
