Not that familiar with ME, but I would put the ME disc into your CD drive and see what options it gives you. You may be able to repair the existing install instead of reinstalling. Generally you won't loose your files, but you will have to reinstall all your programs. Back up your files if you can first, though. You can also go to the Microsoft site and find more information. The other method is to boot from the install CD by changing your BIOS settings to make your CD drive the first boot drive.
