DOS based windows install overwrite the boot sector, so the NT boot loader is not loaded.
To fix the boot sector, reinstall XP. Select the repair option, and if you have no emergency disk, say no, and deselect all options, but the boot sector
It should detect the Win ME installation aswell and add it to the boot.ini, but if not, you can add it manually.
You can check the M$ kb article Q153762, and Q217210 for more info.
Me, 98 etc are not multiboot aware
