@gadgetzreview If you don't know where it is, you haven't pushed it, and therefore this video won't help you.

Hi, I have another problem. I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 1gb ram, Core 2 Duo T5450 1,66 GHz, running Vista Home Premium, the problem is that when I press MediaDirect (v. 3.5) button it boots and shows a message which says: "MD extended partition table error" and MD doesn't work (I have the same problem since I bought it), I tried using the recovery disk, which screwed up my OS (had to repair it), I hope I don't have to format my laptop.
