Re: Not being able to install Windows. RAGE!
ok yep just had a quick look at that post ? you said you couldnt get it to reformat , how did you go about reformatting it ?
sorry this seem off course, but as you have a gateway recovery disc as it loads it may be looking for the hardware that the original computer had in it and now with the new drive in it cant find the hard drive it thinks should be in the computer. so may be failing to start the recovery process |

Re: Not being able to install Windows. RAGE!
I just put my old one in and it went through everything but I got blue screens right after the startup. And windows was being loaded before no problem so I find that weird. And now all the sudden it doesn't work
