I'm going to be building a new computer in the next few weeks and i have a question about XP. I would prefer an upgrade copy, because it is quite a bit cheaper. My current computer is an HP with windows ME. Would i be able to use the recovery disk with ME on it, to make the copy of XP upgrade work?
Windows XP upgrade?

You can upgrade to XP, but I wouldn't recommend it. You can buy an OEM version of XP home for a pretty good price. You just have to purchase it with a piece of "computer hardware".
Here is an example at newegg.com for $91

To satisfy the OEM hardware requirement, newegg gives you a free computer cable (listed at the bottom of the page as "customer appreciation gift").
