    i have an insprion 1520 on when i trun the machine on media direct always boots up first for some off reason.

    then it says "media direct express cannot access your hard drive. this may because you have enabled microsoft bittlocker. media express direct is not accessible when microsoft bittlocker is enabled".


    it will not boot into operating system for some reason just in media direct

    can anyone help me out?

    thanks in advanced

    The only way it should boot to media direct is if you pressed the media direct button instead of the power button to power on the notebook. The only other way would be if you were to mess around with your boot loader.
