Something that might save you money, is, if you already have an upgrade XP cd, you can still perform a full installation. When your drive is cleared, and the XP install can't find any evidence of previous windows installations on the hard drive, it will ask you for valid windows media. Pop in your ME cd, let it verify it, and you're good to go.
As for installation instructions, backup, format (fat32 or ntfs, your choice), install (if you can't boot off the CD, boot off a CD-capable boot floppy and then run winnt.exe in \i386 on the cdrom. Also, get smartdrv.exe on the floppy and run it before install - it speeds up the initial file copying drastically)
