    if i was to do a clean install of vista, in which cds would i find the mediacenter, fingerprint suite, etc.? or do i have to get those somewhere else? and is it just better to move dell mediadirect to the recovery partition so i dont have to reinstall after the clean install? same with norton antivirus?

    If you find a DVD that says " Dell Media Center Direct Already Installed On Your Computer" then that's where the MediaDirect software is.
