If you merely google for your error message, then you can follow the advice it gives.

Incase you cant use google, here is a link...

does the drive light up at bootup. If you can get into the bios and make sure the bios is seeing it. If the bios does not see it windows wont either. look in your paper work,I am not sure on gateway but usally it is the delete key to get into the bios.

Don't you hate it When people say, "It's always in the last place you look". What the HELL??? Of course it
is. Why the HELL would you keep looking for it after you've already found it?
Who the HELL are these people?
