    is there anyway to bypass media direct? i accidently pushed the button instead of power and now i am in a cycle; mentions microsoft bitlocker and how it cannot access the Hard drive. i am going nuts, checked the forums and google(a bunch of links on mediadirect bypassing vista/xp, but none on how to bypass the bloody thing. :confused:

    First thing I did when receiving my laptop was wipe out the Media Direct crap. What a useless POS! If I want "quick media playback" I'll load it up on my iPhone ahead of time.
