Hey guys,

I have a Dell Vostro 1400 that came with MediaDirect3. I accidentally pressed the MediaDirect button, and then cut the power. Now, my computer won't boot correctly.

When I press the normal power button OR the MediaDirect button, it goes to a MediaDirect loading screen (instead of the WinXP loading screen w/ the scrolling bars) and then a BSOD occurs.

I really need to get my data back and restore my OS due to the amount of school-related stuff I have on my hard drive.

Reformatting is out of the option. And pressing the MediaDirect button again doesn't fix it. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
