If you are trying to do this on a single drive you will run into the partition limit of the drive. Media direct resides in its own partition. Right now with your dual boot setup you actually have 4 partitions on the disk. a small ESIA partition which you for all practical reasons cannot be easily deleted, then there is the XP media direct partition, then the XP OS partition, the Win 7 partition. You must have deleted your recovery partition when you setup win 7 as that one would have been the 4th partition.
To view a layout of your drive, right click on the My Computer icon, select Manage. In the Management window select Disk Management and a window will open showing you the lay out or your drive.
are you using the cd auto install or using explore. If you go in, you will find the actual folder with its own media direct folder.on mine one is windows MD3 and the other is WindowsBDpack. The MD3 is the program itself and the bdpack is te bluray addon pack that you need

Yes, I have 4 partitions and I managed to delete the ESIA one. The partitions are 1) windows XP, 2) windows 7, 3) backup and finally 4) Media Direct .
If I boot to Windows XP Media Direct works perfectly. In Windows 7, I get an error when I try to install. Do I need another partition? Thanks again.
