Subject: new hrd drive
I recently installed a new hard drive for my dell lap top.... apparently didnt partition any pace to install media direct.... now when I try to make a partition, I get a warning that if I do, all my data on the hard drive will be lost????

Czuch: Yeah, but if I understand it correctly, the hard drive is new, and thus empty, so no data will be lost ;)

The partioning software cannot know with certainty though, whether there isn't anything on the drive, or whether it's in a file system it doesn't recognize, so it just warns you about it.

Well it was new... but the media direct wanst a priority ;(

Is my only option to let it wipe clean and start again? or forget about media direct install? The reason I even thought about it, is because I cant get it to read and play a dvd ....

anyone have a work around idea?

Czuch: this media direct is the only way you can read and play dvds on your system?
