However, Dell is possibly criminal. I just spent 5 or 6 hours trying to fix this issue - not what you have described - that is a workaround, not a fix. Is my client supposed to pay for my time, or Dell? It is hard to say - considering this is ridiculous. I hate dell. Last recommendation they get from me on any of their products. I hope HP still makes good equipment. You are not stupid. You are smart. However, Dell is possibly criminal.

Just power down your computer so all is switched off. Then don't press the power on/off button, just press the Dell MediaDirect button (with the picture of the house on it) - and lo and behold the computer will power up Windows XP rather than Dell MediaDirect! Problem solved! No partitioning or anything required. I expect the problem was originally caused by pressing the Dell MediaDirect button to start the computer instead of the power on/off button, they feel the same in half light in the morning on my Inspiron.” If you get the Dell MediaDirect error message, there is a simple remedy.
