Hi i have bought a dell inspiron 1525 with vista on it and have been reading all about the media direct button and how it destroys the partitions.
I read how to fix it by zero formatting the drive from a live c.d. but dont know how to do this
I want to completely wipe vista and the media direct button so it wont destroy my partitions when i press it, and install ubuntu 8.04.
I didnt want to format the hard drive and then find out i couldnt install ubuntu and be left without an operating system or do something wrong and mess up the laptop.
Please could someone tell me how to zero the hard drive and get rid of the media direct button and how to install ubuntu 8.04 and tell me which order i have to do it in. Also if you could give me any links to tell me what drivers/software i might need to install to get everything working properly i.e. wi-fi, graphics tablets etc, it would be much appreciated.
The specs of my laptop are
Ram: 1GB
Hard drive: 100GB
Processor: Intel core 2 duo T2390 or something similar
Wi-fi: Dell wireless card 1395
Webcam: Built in creative 2mp webcam
Thanks very much
