You could have fixed it by recovering or replacing the MBR, not losing your data. I have had this working with a 1520, though not right now.

It probably isn’t used to boot, so no.

i have been thinking i have the dell studio 1537, it’s power button is on the side.. and on the other side in the exact same spot is the wifi catcher button, could you use the wifi button and the 2nd power button?

Hey,
I have a ‘Dell Studio 1537′ and its ‘Media Direct’ button is a touch one, will this still work?

I have a 1420 and don’t press that button before it turns on….
Trust me.
It created a loophole to my entire system and they said I was going to have to re-install everything [losing all my data in the process]

But in a last attempt, I pressed the Windows button while it was booting, and it worked.

FINALLY, DELL HAS DONE SOMETHING GOOD!
Anyways, will this work on all Dell’s? I have a Dell Inspiron 1521 and it has a media direct button.
