I am about to wipe out my brother's new Dell XPS1530 laptop, and reinstall Vista Home Premium SP2. The problem I'm having is regarding this HPA partition for Dell Media Direct, which looks to be a hidden 2 GB partition at the end of the disk.
I know Media Center Direct came on a CD with the laptop (pretty sure). What would be my instructions for setting this laptop up? I tried looking on Dell's website, but so far, I'm not having any luck. On one hand, it seems that I'd install this application after Vista, because it is an application, after all. However, I'm wondering if it does the partitioning for me, or if I should leave space at the end of the drive, etc. Thanks for any help or suggestions.
