Gateway Laptop: EXACT Replacement For The OEM Hdd
Oct 6, 2009
My girlfriends laptop is having issues. its a gateway m-1617. her hdd failed so I replaced it with a working spare I had from a hp vista laptop. specs were the same so I thought it may work. but I am unable to re-install vista on it. the hdd is recognized in bios but when I get into the vista install screen there is no hard drive located to format. Do I need to order an EXACT replacement for the OEM hdd or can I make this one work somehow? Or is there possible other hardware failure??

Boy am I going crazy. A brand new laptop and brand new S9 Moto stereo headphones. I pair them to the computer and it acknowledges them. However, I get no sound whatsoever from the headphones. The Bluetooth screen show they are there as both a stereo headphones as well as a wireless headset.
I have gone to Motorola and downloaded the latest driver, which was the same as I had, but I though mine may have had a problem, but no luck with that. 2 weeks of playing for 2 or 3 hours everyday.

My scans take VERY long time to complete. Over an hour. Two internal drives:
1 - 495 G - 1 G Taken
2 - 232 G - 58.3 G Taken (my OS is on it)
And one external, which is disconnected for the time of the scans. You can tell me what to run to show you the exact memory, if you wish.

I bought an Laptop with Vista Home Premium 32bit. If I install a FULL version of Windows 7 on this Laptop, can I use the Vista Home Premium 32bit key from the laptop on one of my other desktops? If so, would I talk to Microsoft or the manufacturer to get a disk without all the manufacturer "Bonus" software?

I need to order a replacement dvd for my vista ultimate coz its scratched badly. I know how to contact microsoft but im uncertain of a few things
I want it to have sp1 already on the disc so i dont have to spend ages installing it everytime i want to reinstall. Do vista dvd's come with sp1 already integrated on them nowdays?
Also, do i need to ask for ultimate retail version, or are all discs the same? I ask coz my version of ultimate asks me to chose which version to install if i dont input the product key.

just 15mins ago just decided to play with a "shiny thing" that happened to be my store bought copy of Vista64 Ultimate. It now has a great looking crack in it I have the case with the certificate of authenticity and the product key on the yellow sticker, will MS replace it (if there is a shipping fee thats fine). I dident buy it directly from MS, got it from Ofice Depot I think many months ago. I did register with MS when I first installed it, so they can verify its me.

I have Vista Home Premium on 3 laptops. Last night I downloaded Windows 7. I got a file that prompted me to let it be written on to a DVD. It also gave me a key. Can I install this under my Vista, without losing my applications? Or will it wipe out my current Vista

This has been one of the most demonstrated features of Windows Vista and also one that I have been asked the most about how to use it.
Keep in mind that your computer must support the DWM for this feature to run. If you are running Aero Glass right now, it will work perfectly for you.
Launch Flip 3D:
Just press and hold the Windows Key + Tab. Then use the scroll wheel on your mouse or the up and down keyboard arrows to navigate through the windows. When the window you want is on top, release the Windows and Tab keys.

Would be interested in Forum's comments. I had a 9800 GX2 card that failed about 11 months into the 1 year warranty (after an agonising 4 weeks of trying to find out what was wrong with my machine!) The shop I bought it from replaced it FOC with a new single GTX260. When I queried them, that this didn't seem a fair replacement (I would have thought two GTX260's SLI'd together was fairer, their argument was:
The 9800 GX2 was no longer available as a new card The second hand 9800 GX2's are about NZ$400 (I am in New Zealand) and the new GTX 260 is the same price. The GTX 260 performs as well as the 9800 GX2 I am not unhappy with the GTX 260, but I feel kind of ripped off. NZ has pretty strict Consumer protection laws, so I will explore those as well, but my post here is to find out if this sort of replacement is common where high end cards fail and are no longer available.

there must be many people who have moved all their mail from XP on one laptop to Vista mail on a new laptop. These two computers can see each other on the network. How can I easily move all history, contacts, folders etc from one to the other?

What is the term used to describe a replacement hard drive from a manufacturer which already has the OS and other software installed on it? Someone told me it was "bricked" but that doesn't sound right.

I have a Gateway laptop that came pre-installed with Vista Home Premium. I was trying to reformat it, and well, I'm a dummy, and accidentally used an XP Reinstallation CD, which I don't have a product key for. I can't seem to get a Vista CD from Microsoft or Gateway. I don't know what to do at this point.

my Gateway M-6318 is not connecting to the internet. It was working fine when connected to an ethernet cable at the apartment, but wireless didn't work, but now at the house neither work! Cox has came down two times to fix this, but nothing. I have been playing around with it since the move, but no luck at all. It does not work wirelessly or wired. We have two laptops. One works and one doesn't. It also says that something called DHCP is not enabled, but I don't know how or where to enable that if that would be the solution, but many said to me that it is only for wireless networks.

I need to do a complete factory reset on my Gateway. The restore discs that Gateway sent me no longer work (I've had to factory reset previously) and the OS disc that Gateway sent me isn't reading in my T-6835 laptop. Since I reset my hard drive previously, I don't have Gateway Recovery Manager. I do have a recovery partition though, but I can't access it for some reason or another. I have tried tapping alt + f10, f10, and r at the beginning but to no avail.

I'm trying to do a system recovery for a friend. She has a gateway computer. I forgot the model. She is in another state so it's very difficult to do over the phone since basically it's like being blindfolded. Her computer is messed up so it looks like recovering using link one is out of the question. So my question is if I have her use the link 2 which requires the disc, how should I have her do the recovery? When it comes time to select what kind of partition to create which do I select? Format partition? She is the kind of person who is not familiar with computers and gets aggrivated pretty easily so I'm trying to do this as easy as possible.

*_GateWay_GT5428,_intel_pentium_D_CPU_3.20GHz,_1GB_of_RAM,_32-bit_system._*
my dad bought a Gateway (model:GT5428) desktop about two years ago. well not long after that it started to shutdown unexpectedly. ofcoarse my dad thinking that it would cost a butt load of money to get it fixed. so he tried to fix it himself and asking my step-grandfather to help him, but the problem still continues.
Here I'll give detailed discription of what usually happens: when logging in, the unit's fan gets really noisy as if its handling alot at once. if we open a program like internet explorer to soon it will shutdown; so we usually wait a while until we think it's ok to open the program. but after shutting down a blue screen appears and then it reboots. now in safe mode it works fine so I'm pretty sure it's not a Ram problem but I believe it maybe a driver issue concerning some hardware( a linksys wi-fi adapter) that was installed by someone at circuit city when he bought the computer. so I need help finding the problem. Problem reports and solutions has logged in 366 unexpected shutdowns since 2007.

I have been having tons of blue screens. Every time I contact Gateway about it I get the same answer to take the comp back to factory default. Its solving nothing. Honestly I am about the dropkick the computer out the window. About 4 Days ago I took it to factory standards and did the full windows update, there are no more updates. Ran fine for 1 day then the next 3 I have got 15 blue screens. The blue screens I have been getting are usually: -
Driver_Irql_Not_less_or_Equal Stop: 0x000000D1 -
Nvlddmkm.sys- Address FFFFFA60027C9E35 -

Now you see it now you don't. Here's the scenario. When I reboot everytime, the gateway static IP address disappears. I have to manually enter it again. Everytime! I'm using Vista 32 Business SP2 on a Thinkpad X60s notebook. Why does this happen and what's the solution?
