    I'm about to format my new XPS M1530 and put XP on it.

    If i keep the MediaDirect partition intact and don't touch it will it still work even though i've installed win xp?


    If not i take it i have to do this :-

    But just use my Win XP disc instead of the Vista one?



    Thanks.

    You have to use the procedure you quoted if you want to keep Media Direct.
