Press this button repeatedly at initial power up until you are able to access the BIOS setup menus. (Its ok to restart the computer if you miss the button) Go to Boot tab (by pressing arrow right or tab) set the 1st boot device to (CD/DVD Drive) 2nd to Hard drive etc it really doesnt matter what other devices boot up after in whatever order as if they are not used they will be skipped automatically.

If your running XP, restart computer, wait to it comes to login screen…hit “ctrl, alt, delete” three times. It should bring up a screen to enter a password. If you didn’t create a password for Administrator when you first setup computer, you can hit “ok” and it should log you in. Dont’ know if this works with vista/windows 7.

I took off hd and installed in my new desktop. Once my computer noticed the addition hd, it added the drivers it need and notified me of missing files. I was able to access hd before I did this but my computer automatically fixed issues. I don't even think I ran a diskscan on hd. I re-connected back to gateway and it booted right up. Right now I'm having an issue with a old dell mini that has vista on it, I performed a windows update last week and now having problems with it getting to windows login screen. I've spent a lot of time trying to fix this for my friend. Not sure what to do. Mark I ran into this problem before several months back on a old gatway slim desktop.

Choose the selection that says "start windows with last good known configuration". If this doesn't work, try same thing but boot using safe mode. Try restoring your computer to an earlier day.
