EEEEKE why you running ME, it sux..

Well to upgrade from ME to XP Home, will cost you $99, to go to XP Pro, will 
run ya $199.

What the Upgrade process does to the MAster Boot Record, currently being 
handled by system commander is another thing?? I would first check with the 
folk at Ontrack to see if there will be an issue, there may not be?

If you dont use Windows for much, simply go to the "HOME" edition, on the other 
hand if you really dont use Windows for much, why upgrade?

In your case, I wouldnt mess with XP Pro, but as I note above, the process of 
upgrading might not be worth it if your usage doesnt..
