    I know theres a method to restore the Media Direct program after a format, but what about the diagnostics program partition after a format. When I got my E1505 about 3 months ago, I just wiped the entire 60gb drive clean and took out all the partitions. Im just curious if theres a method to restore the diagnostics program if I ever would need it

    Dell would know, but I would doubt there's a way to have it restored without sending it to Del.
