Thanks for this tutorial and for having the files available for upload! =)
I would add one little note.
I know it should have been obvious to me considering how many times I’ve had to deal with my grub in the past but
if you have a dual-boot machine, and you are using grub (which is likely),
1) it will screw up your grub
2) it will not put a proper MBR either.
3) the partition with quickplay direct was still not bootable for me, but I think that may have been caused by an install error, or I didn’t add it to the grub properly (At that point I realized I didn’t really want a triple boot machine after all).
I also saw on someone else’s blog that they had their MBR screwed up by QPD even though they didn’t have dual boot. According to them, have the windows install CD fix the MBR worked like a charm. Anyway, maybe you want to add a quick note about how to fix a bad MBR (or grub, but I understand that’s a very small subset of the population) for those who run into the problem of a computer refusing to boot up =)
