Uninstall XP to recover files?

[Guest]

I upgraded to XP Home from ME. My brain wasn't working and I didn't export
Address Books and E-mails. If I uninstall XP and return to ME, will my files
be there? Could I restore the computer to a previous date in ME to get my
files? Will I screw something up by uninstalling XP and just accept the fact
that my files are gone? Any advice will be helpful. Thanks!
