Dell Inspiron keeps BSODing

[bigboss619]

Seems to be a problem with dell media direct. Instead of booting up normally, It goes to dell media direct and then BSODs. Tried to restore from the BIOS but it just brings me to "windows xp embedded" even though I have windows vista, and BSODs again. It's a dell inspiron 1525 laptop. BSOD info gives CONFIG_LIST_FAILED and then lists this code
*** STOP: 0x00000073 (0x00000001,0xC000017D, 0x00000004,0xAA777BB8)
