The easiest way would to install ME first, followed by XP on a seperate partition. Normally, the oldest OS is installed first. If you don't want to reformat and reinstall the O/S's in this order, there are 3rd party boot managers you can use to take care of the problem.
As for ME not seeing the drive, ME can't see drives formatted with NTFS, XP's default file system.

start > run > type "msconfig > "boot.ini" tab
Remove the entries to the old O/S's that you don't need. |

ME is a bit strange in dual boot - it *must* be installed on C.
