As I read your post, the system currently is running Windows XP, having been upgraded from ME. If the file system was changed to NTFS the
format command means nothing, as DOS cannot see an NTFS partition.
You can do a clean install of XP using an upgrade CD which is not only more efficient than installing ME and then upgrading but also provides a much more stable system. Instructions for doing this are
here.
