    Hi all, I've xps M1330 with vista home premium without any service pack, and I want to re-install vista using F8.

    My question is:
    Can I use any repartition program to install linux ? will it affect media direct ?

    I mean resize the OS partition and install linux and grub loader into mbr, will this process affect media direct ?

    All this after restoring factory state.

    Thank you in advance
