    Hi,

    I was wondering if any of you had any experience with what I would like to do with my new m1330. It has MediaDirect, which I'd like to keep; as well as that recovery partition. I had it shipped with Vista, but want to make it dual-booting with XP. Can I just install XP over the Vista partition, leaving plenty of space for an install of Vista after the XP install?

    I hope I made sense. Basically, I was wondering if it was possible to install XP and Vista in a dual-boot, but never touch the MediaDirect partition?

    Thanks!
