If you just want rid of the prompt, go to control panel/system/advanced/startup and recovery click settings.
In the resultant window at the top, you see "time to display list of operating systems"
Untick, or set the time to zero.

Before you do anything!
(although I guess DiscContented is otherwise "probably" right)
You have indicated the PC still works, yet you don't say if it works under both ME and XP (dual-boot) - it is difficult to help without all the details.
IF - it works, but you just don't like "this mesage" - then why mess with it? Be grateful it still works. Copy all yr data-files, =letters, photos etc somewhere safe....
With the cost of HDD's so cheap, I wonder why folk don't just start afresh, it means you have a clean installation and gives you a reasonable spare HDD, once the new system is working OK. When you installed ME - wasn't that 5-years ago? - HDD's don't last forever. A new HDD is about 40usd - and will outlast the one you have now.
Good luck
