UNSOLVED
Mediadirect 3
I went ahead and installed vista last night even though I told myself I wasn't going to. I'm glad I did. I haven't had any problems yet except for the Mediadirect 3. I installed vista 1st, then read the instructions, so I installed the Mediadirect. When I did it repartitioned my hard drive. I did the first option, which was something to the effect of, adjust the size of the partition for all allocated files.
After I did this, it said to install the OS disk, and after I'm done, finish installing Mediadirect. I did all of this, but when I put in the Mediadirect again, it says that the hard drive wasn't proberly prepared, or something like that, and to do it again. I spent 5 hours doing and redoing this yesterday, but can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated.
- That is not true. Media Direct doesn't "install in an unformatted" section. There are some updated drivers & programs for Vista that need to be installed. Check your downloads page at Dell. You can select either Windows or Media Direct to boot to.

By the way I don't see Media Direct Available as a download in the Vista section. I had 2.0 installed on XP. Are people getting 3.0 with new systems or are they using the XP Version. I haven't really worried about it because I never saw Media Direct as a big deal especially because I am always multitasking anyway. lol already have a portable DVD Player and an MP3 player with speakers.
