    hi everyone,

    anyone out there have any idea for me to get quickly dell's mediadirect 2.0 software installer for my Inspiron 6400/ E1505 2.0 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo, coz here's my story......I bought my laptop without any OS installed just blank and a DOS cd comes with it,so no problem I have an OS cd anyway,so my problem comes to the mediadirect which i dont have the installer in the first place,so my question is how can i get a reinstallation cd or can i download it from somewhere(which i doubt it,coz ive search all of the internet sites n forums but cant find it anywhere), even if im outside the U.S.,where should i go and does this cost a lot?and one more thing how come dell did not include it in their packaging regrdless the packaging does not have an OS in it,it should have been there coz how the hell can u use the media direct button if they did not provide the installation cd right???it's like for example the bluetooth is built-in but they did not provide the software for it,you get my point?
    anyways anyone can help me and enlighten me up will be pretty much appreciated

    thanks a lot

    MD 1.0 won't work cause all it does it load Media Experience in XP. It was the first version of MD and did not support outside of XP functions.

    I suggest that you call Dell and see if they will ship you the disc. They do not have available to download from their website.
