Default ME installation

I have a problem and don't know how to go about fixing it. Recently I had my
hard drive crash on me and I replaced it. I was running XP on it, but it
originally came with ME. I had bought an XP disk but it was only the Upgrade.
My problem is this, I tried loading ME so I could then put in the XP upgrade
and have it working again. The pixels on the monitor when everything is done
are messed up like its in a safe mode or something. I was told that missing
drivers are causing that. Anyway, I can't even load the XP upgrade because it
keeps telling me that there is no previous windows founds. It didn't come
with a "Windows ME" disk, but 3 disks from HP that are system recovery disks.
Those are what I loaded and it won't work as I can't even accept the
licensing agreement when ME comes up. What can I do? Thanks for any helpful
solutions.
