upgrading from ME to XP home

[Guest]

HELP! I've just upgraded my ME to XP Home and when I try to logon I get a
message window on screen with 'userinit.exe - No Disk' in teh top left
corner. The message is 'there is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk
into drive\Device\Harddisk2\DR4'. There are three options - 'Cancel', Try
Again' and Continue'. Selecting any of them only brings the message back
immediately. Using the Task Manager to delete the process hangs the PC.

Does anyone know what I can do?
