    Reboot prob, after trying to disable md-button

    So i tried to disable the md-button on my m1330 but that didn't work out for me so i installed vista and md again, clean install formated and all. But there seems to still be something wrong with the boot record or something similar. When shut off both buttons work now, md starts with one of them and vista with the other.
    My problem is this, when i try to reeboot my machine from vista start menu i get stuck in an reboot loop. The dell logo appears and then i come to an option where i can choose, start fail safe mode, fail safe with cmd prompt, fail safe with network or start windows normal. What ever i choose the computer starts all over with the dell logo and then i come to the same option.
    If i use the powet button to shut it off and then turn it on again vista starts without a problem.
    All help trying to solve this problem is much appriciated.

    Best Regards
