Default Need to reformat and reinstall

Since I have the ME cd & key code and the XP upgrade, is is possible
to reformat and install then upgrade back to xp? Thanks!


No need, you can install XP without having first to install Win Me. See
my reply to your post in the thread "reinstalling windows Me".

purchased for this machine's predecessor but without a floppy drive
and/or boot disc, I am a bit lost - I need to reformat and reinstall
due to backdoor trojan but can't find the XP discs & key code came
with the machine when purchased new in Dec 05.
