P.S. While assuring you of minimal conflicts when moving files between your crashed XP system and the older WinME system, I had intended to mention the assumption that you were using nice clean English formatted file names, but I forgot to say this. You might run into some issues if your file names diverge greatly from the English character set, I don't have enough experience with "strange" character sets to say just how likely this will be. Based on where you are posting from and your choice of user name, I don't expect this to be an issue.
