Dual bot problems

I'm having problems with my dual boot with XP/ME. I did the mistake to first install XP on c: since i thought i wouldn't need ME. I later installed ME on d:. Doing this made my computer only boot ME so i started repair console and made a fixmbr and fixboot.

I'm having problems with my dual boot with XP/ME.
 
I did the mistake to first install XP on c: since i thought i wouldn't need ME. I later installed ME on d:.
 
Doing this made my computer only boot ME so i started repair console and made a fixmbr and fixboot. That made the bootloader start but when i choose ME i get an I/O error.
 
I then tried starting computer with ME bootdisk and made a "sys c:". This made my pc start ME again. So back to repair console and do only a fixboot.
 
Now bootloader is back but still the same I/O error when i choose me "I/O Error accessing bootsector file multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\BOOTSECT.DOS".
 
Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this. I really don't want to reinstall my XP.
