    I started seeing "Loading PBR for Descriptor 2....done" after I ran the DELL MediaDirect Repair Utility and it didn't fix anything. So I reinstalled MediaDirect and that fixed it but I still see the above message.

    I've searched for forums which had any threads about this keeping them from loading into Windows but my situation is different in that I can still load into Windows Vista as well as MediaDirect with no probems. I'm just curious if it is possible to remove this message since it sounds like the DELL MediaDirect Repair Utility added a line somewhere to check for a specific partition that I no longer have (I formatted my XPS M1530 as soon as I got it). Being an old schooler, I tried checking my autoexec.bat, config.sys, and msconfig startup and found nothing added that could be checking for that partition.

    The problem doesn't affect my computer in anyway (yet) but its just an annoyance to see tha message everytime I startup my computer and just want to at least hide it if possible.
