When you say you put in the (recovery cd) and it does nothing, are you restarting your computer
(with the disk still in the drive) or are you putting the CD in while the computer is on?
If you expect the (recovery cd) to work, you have to restart the computer while the CD is still in
the drive.
But you also have to have the computer BIOS set to read the CD before it reads the hard drive.
Press "F2" key when the Gateway logo appears. Follow instructions to find "Boot Sequence" and
configure the computer to read the CD before the hard drive.
Try the following site for more information.

I haven't worked on Gateways for a long time, but a (restore cd) may destroy all of your personal
data, I hope you have backups of documents, pictures, etc.
