I've heard conflicting information as to where the MBR is on Dells with Media Direct. Normally, it's at "track 0" but some say it's in the Diagnostics partition (the first, EISA partition). When you created the Acronis Secure Zone, if it didn't keep the 2.5GB MEDIADIRECT partition...

Since upgrading to XP SP-3, whenever I insert a dvd and Dell Media Experience runs, the latter crashes (in the case of a regular movie dvd) or freezes (in the case of a disk with *.avi or *.mpeg files). 0xc0000135 is the error code. My machine is an Inspiron 630m running Win XP Home. Can someone help...

Dell has been stonewalling Blu-ray issues for a LONG time. I have an Inspiron 1525 and Media Direct can't navigate some BD's (Across the Universe) and can't play others. When you enter your service tag and go to the support page for your computer, Dell flatly refuses to show you the current...

GavinJohn, The issue here isn't drivers or Microsoft, the device support is fine. Blu-ray is an evolving target, both due to inexperience following the spec, various new profiles (1.1-BonusView 2.0-BD-Live) and DRM issues. Dell should have understood when they sold Blu-ray computers that ongoing...

I decided to reinstall everything on my Inspiron 630m laptop. Rather than looking for instructions I stupidly tried to do it manually by formatting the hard drive and reinstalling windows XP Pro myself. Realising I needed to install Dell MediaDirect, to return my computer to how it was when I first purchased...

Inspiron 1720. The MediaDirect 3.3 cd appears to run sucessfully but the o/s installation failes at the "completing Installation" stage. I ordered a new Media direct cd and am experiencing the same problem. This is the exact same symptom I experienced when I tried to install without the Media...
