    I apologizes if this has been discussed before, I tried to search the forum but didn't find a match for my questions.

    How do I get a clean install of Windows Vista with 2 partitions (on for OS the other for data and backup) without the MediaDirect, and without the notebook ****ing up if I press the MediaDirect button?
