    Media Direct installation CD is normally shipped with the notebook. If you live in US or in a country where DELL has a local web site then you can ask them to send you another CD. AFAIK it is not available for download.

    Read Format Xp On Dell Laptops Guide. It has a step by step guide on how to format and install Windows + MediaDirect. If that thread is not helpful enough, then use the search function and search for the phrase "Media Direct", there are plenty of threads discussing problems related to MD reinstalling.
