Dell MediaDirect standalone will not work after repartitioning

Hello

I recently implemented an Inspiron laptop, 1585, with MediaDirect feature.  After the first boot on Vista, I realized there was no place for a data partition, so I decided to make a.  Before you change anything, I did a complete HARD drive (or so I thought) with 2 different softwares, on an external HARD drive.  I used for this Image from TerabyteUnlimited for Windows 2 and O & O DiskImage Pro 3.

Then I reduced the size of the Vista Partition, increased the size of the extended partition that contains MediaDirect and created a data partition.  After turning off the power, I checked the feature MediaDirect, pressing the 'home' button near the power button.  I realized that MD was not start any longer.

So I decided to put the HARD drive in its original state.  But IFW both O & O DI3 failed, at least, could not recover the MediaDirect feature.  After restoration, Vista is OK, the recovery of Dell and Dell utility also, what Dell MediaDirect, which does not start.  Instead, it is Vista that starts when you press the home key.

I tried to use the MediaDirect (3.5 ou.6?) CD, but it either erases and repartitionne my HDD in a different way after first poweron (recovery Dell is missing, Dell MediaDirect is 2 GB of big instead of 2.5 GB, etc.).  By using the Vista CD Md also fails.

Apparently, all partitions are back as they were before I started to change their layout, and the first cylinder of the HARD drive has been restored, so I don't see any clues more on how to fix this.

Thanks for any help with this!

  • I use Mac OS 10.4.11 and after downloading firefox 4.0, I get a circle + bar symbol oblique covering the logo of firefox - and it will not work after copy in my applications folder. What is the problem? Had to reinstall 3.6

    I followed the instructions on the screen to download firefox 4.0. After the launch of the dmg image in the window of firefox dmg is the symbol of firefox with a "do not go" symbol on it (for example as a sign of the universal movement for "don't go this way" - red red circle with a diagonal line).

    Copied on ANYWAY - which was stupid - and he says: "Cannot open the application"Firefox"because it is not supported on this system."

    I couldn't find documentation saying my OS has not been supported by firefox 4.0.

    Is there away around this problem?

    Firefox 4 will not work on OS X 10.4, it requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

    There is an accumulation of third party that runs under OS X 10.4 and Mac PPC, for more details, see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox

  • HP 6520 will not work after changing the black ink cartridges

    Changed the cartridges and now black ink will not work. This is the second or third time only to change the cartridges - did not have a problem before, but of course, it is while the printer was still under warranty. It is now about a year and a half.

    I used all the suggested diagnosis - head cleaned, head aligned, etc, etc, etc, and nothing has helped.

    The black cartridge worked after the swap, but with a few lines do not print or missing--now produces almost nothing.

    Cartridges color was wonderful at the beginning of the troubleshooting process, but now they're starting to not look right - with spare no effort to correct the print head, he seems to be making it worse.

    Suggestions?

    Chkdsk /r

    c. When you are prompted to schedule chkdsk at the next reboot, type 'Y' (without the quotes) and press ENTER.

    d. restart the computer.

  • Reference Dell 926 printer will not print after installing Windows 7

    After the upgrade to Windows 7 my 926 printer will not print. I followed the suggestions found here (unplug the printer on the wall, remove the brick, low load patch R166248 to delete the printer, the latest driver to load, R146832 dated 26/01/07, reboot). Restarts, driver going through complete installation process then I get an error at the end of the process, "the Dell Photo 926 Printer printer driver is not installed". I did this several times. In addition, I restarted the spooler to print several times. No luck. Additional suggestions on how I can get my 926 to work with Windows 7?

    Greg,

    I think that we all regret our first wedding, well most of us.

    Removal of print jobs is a way of really nice to get rid of your documents. After you restart your computer, you should be able to run the fix, Manual printer removal driver and restart once more. Try it to install the Vista drivers in compatibility mode, I used Vista SP2.

    Right click on the file setup.exe, on the left, click Properties, compatibility of the left click. Change Vista compatibility. Then, install the appropriate drivers. You will be asked when connect (printer)

    To install the drivers, sometimes the file decompresses and does nothing. You must find the setup.exe file, right-click on it, then on the left click on run as administrator *.

  • HP250 G3 Notebook: network will not work after the upgrade to Windows 10

    Hello

    Someone was able to get their network works after upgrade to Windows 10 for their portable HP250 G3?

    I think I have a driver problem. The message I get is along the lines of "impossible to link to network protocols. There is also an "unknown" device in Device Manager. Comparison with Windows 7 Device Manager, I can't understand what it could be.

    Of all drivers not not to work, the network is one of the most important that you can not use the Internet to debug the problem. I have uninstall Windows 10 and Windows 7 troubleshooting. (such a pain)

    So far, I tried to download all the drivers of network you're interested in that I can find on the web, as well as the Bluetooth drivers. I reload once 10 Windows installed and hope for the best. They got the right driver for the wireless network (which works only default with Windows 10 I might add) work, but I think it might be a controller driver that is still missing.

    I found a few sites that have suggested to the registry of hacking. I tried that too, but without success.

    If someone hacked into the problem, I would be happy to help.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your concern, and I would like to try the drivers from the following link---

    It didn't help not then write us back with the network card, you can get to the screen of the Device Manager under network adapters, as if from here so we can try searching the drivers from the manufacturer of netwrok card.

  • HP Photosmart premium c310, Windows 7 (64 bit) series will not work afterit is turned off and then on again

    I have photosmart all-in-one c310 printer and whenever we have a power outage, the printer will not print at startup power upward. I have spend hours trying to download drivers or updates and check the printer that says it's fine and the computer that says it can't find the driver. The last 2 times I finally got running again, but I did something different every time and I don't remember what it was. I just spent 2 hours on a hamster wheel keeps back me for a download, after you download it twice, I finally understood was the SAME download (the 3rd time I was directed here) and the printer STILL does not work. I'm pulling my hair out and I'm about to throw this worthless piece of scrap metal by the window. Help!

    Are you connected wireless? If so, you will need to reconnect the printer to the network of the SCW wireless on the printer itself. When you have power, he can hit just the printer off of the network from the router and just reconnect.

  • Lightroom 6.5 will not work after restoring the windows 10

    First of all, let me say that Adobe support for a pro user product sucks. Really? no other than this support?

    My windows 10 workstation crashed and did a restore. I understand that it is early and I had to reinstall the update 6.5.

    Problem is that Lightroom does not open because he repeats to me there is problem of catalog and will not allow last backup is only a few days to work.

    Then. How to solve this problem?

    The only thing that worked was completely reinstall Lightroom 6, and then apply the latest update.

    After that, I was able to use the last catalog had been saved.

    You guys seriously need better than this forum support if you want to think of yourself as a product for professional use.

    When all else fails reinstall, but this kind of support, it's not what you need.

  • None of my videos will not work after the update to version 13.1

    I tried of you tube and I still get "an error occurred trying to come back later ' player will not mount on my homepage that uses silverlight. The two sectors work with Chrome and IE

    Hey delittle632, this is probably due to the recent update of the plugin to version 11.3 adobe flash. It has caused similar problems for many other users (chrome & IE get provided with a different version of the plugin by adobe).

    You can try to remove flash 11.3 of the section of the configuration/program windows downgrade to an earlier version & Control Panel, until adobe fixes these problems.
