Yesterday I decided to throw a Blu Ray disk in the drive and up pops Media Direct and promptly locks up the...

Hi, By default, Dell Media Direct doesnt come bundled with Dell Studio 1555 with Vista 64 bit Home Premium. Has anyone installed and created a partition successfully on this notebook configuration?
