Use a ME or 98 boot diskette to boot the computer. You will probably have to
reformat the hard drive; since you formatted it in XP you may have formatted
it as NTFS, which ME can't use. Reformat it as FAT 32 and then install ME.
 
you have to put it in the pc then fdisk and format it again and it depends what o/s your going to use if its xp just set the bios to boot from cd-rom first and put the disk in and restart hit the key one time only at startup
