Reinstall windows xp gateway pc

To answer the questions brought up through everyones' replies: Tstright: You can load Any OS on your Gateway, You'll just have to download drivers. I have a drivers disc from Gateway, so this is probably the best way to go. Everything seems to be running great except for not completing last 2 minutes of install.

Did that already. Did this too and was told that I would have to purchase new discs and that they would be more than happy to process this purchase for me at their website. LitomoSilver: Or you could try burning a new copy of the reinstallation CD. I would love to do this, but how do I have the CD checked to make sure it's good? Rich-M: XP fails to install for 4 reasons.

I am currently trusting Gateway's HD scan right now because I did swap out the HD to see what would happen and got the same result with test drive too. Thanks again for all your help. Quick and easy test I do it all the time and it works when I use the new CD. You'll have to try cleaning it out. Instructions on that, you can find anywhere. Although, I think there're programs that check to see if your CD is readable, I wouldn't know what kind, so I can't suggest you on that.

I will give it a try I personally believe that Gateway uses a master version of their software to load their computers and the disks sent out to the consumer are Meaning that these disks have never been tryed before and now we have "crap" disks that they won't replace without our purchasing them.

I'll fill you in as soon as I can. I have back surgery today and will be laid up for a little while. Thanks for you help!

If the disk copies correctly it should be good if not then it is probably defective. When the installation gets to the saving settings and stops how long are you letting it go to save files?

Some computers are extremely slow at this and take quite a while. Well, here's more I have tried loading WinXP using disks from my own computer, just to see if it would at least load with a known good version. This leads me to believe that the problem does not reside with the software. You can get it at Directron. Its the cheapest that I have been able to find.

I told some friends that XP would work alot better than Vista on their computer and I had problems finding the drivers. The machine is a GT I used the link to the drivers and everything has installed fine. Thanks soo much!

Gateway support is pretty bad… why they can not post drivers for XP does not make good business sense. My Gateway GT can I connect it to my television to watch downloaded movies and what do i need to do it.

If your TV has the correct input. Then you must have DVI out on your computer. Does Can anyone tell me If I download the drivers first or do install xp first. All the drivers seemed to install just fine, aside from the on board SigmaTel audio device. Anyone have any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
