Can someone tell me how I can get windows xp to see my windows me drive with a dual boot system? I need to transfer a file from xp to me and I'm on a laptop with no floppy. TIA.

Easier said than done. All I've got is a restore disk. I originally used partion magic and boot magic to install WinMe to my XP system. Apparently if I had installed ME first and Xp later I wouldn't be having this problem. But I really don't want to redo the whole thing(plus I don't have just an Xp disk), I just want to get this one file transferred. Does anyone else have any suggestions? Thanks.

If I were you, I would create a small additional fat32 partition using partitionmagic. Label this partition something such as "data" or "shared". Then now and in the future any data you want to be available to both OS's can be placed there.
