    Hi Everyone,
    I am converting my Dell Inspiron 1721 to XP because Vista is a hog.
    I've read through some of the archived forums and found lots of really good help. Especiially from HViiny and the rest. (Thumbs Up!!!)
    Heres my problem: I removed all partitions on the drive and expected (haha) that the MediaDirect would prompt to re-setup these partitions. However, it crashes out to the blue screen physical memory dump after saying that there is a paging (virtual memory) problem. That it cannot find it and to set the size,etc.. (despite all partitions having been removed and it reformatted.)
    Can anyone help? More than just telling me I'm screwed? :)
    Thanks Everyone!
