I do not believe ME can read XP's tables. ME uses FAT32 and XP uses NTFS. XP can read everything before it but ME cannot read things that came after it. Read this and it explains more, also found this program that is freeware that will let you read NTFS in ME, 98, and 95. I am pretty sure this is what your problem is.
