Windows XP Pro enables users to roll back an installation of XP to an original installation of Win98 or ME as long as the boot partition is formatted with FAT or FAT32.

Open Control Panel, open Add or Remove Programs, select Uninstall Windows XP and click Change/Remove.

I would never advise using ME, use Win98se if you have to, its more or less ME but faster but then its not very stable. Use Win2k or XP is my advice.

You'll have to run Fdisk & Reformat, & partition... after you have saved any important files. You will need "all" the Windows ME drivers for each device, if you had WinXP or 2000 they might not work. Making sure to have a Floppy BOOT disk, this is important to get the CD-ROM working for the Operating system to be reinstalled, http://www.worldstart.com/tips/shared/rr1.htm Or go to Microsoft knowledge base. For their instructions.

Why would you want to. Windows ME is the worst OS Microsoft ever came out with! If anything you need to up grade to 2000 or XP.

as of recently, it is impossible to downgrade to windows me, your only options right now are xp (support ending soon), vista (don't do it), 7, and soon to be 8. Those are the only options for windows right now.
