I had a guy this weekend that wanted to install ME on his system, but keep his 98 just in case he didn't like it. He took his 98 drive and made it a slave and his slave drive a master to install ME. The ME install took files from the 98 install on the slave drive and helped to make a mess.... somthing like you were having there Jim. He disconnected the 98 drive and did the ME install, no problems. He installed the 98 drive again as a slave, no problems. So what I see so far is if you're doing a clean install, make sure it is CLEAN with nothing on other drives, or do the upgrade.
