    I couldnt decide if I wanted to keep vista or go back to XP so I decided to try a dual boot setup!

    I first did the clean reinstall of Vista & media direct using the sticky at the top of this dell subforum.

    Then I used a combination of these two guides to load xp and dual boot it with vista!

    Everything works perfectly, I am very happy now because I can use XP day to day but still use vista if I feel like it or I need to use directx10 down the road!
