If it was an F6(and I doubt it is) the CD will tell you it can't find any hard drives
that board supports ide emulation if I am not mistaken -------------------- |

I googled it and didn't find anything definite
If you haven't changed anything inside the computer and some hardware isn't failing, then gateway has messed up the drive configuration http://www.e4allupgraders.info/dir1/mother...5/D945GCL.shtml Is this your motherboard? you will have to open the computer on this one, it's going to hairy very soon, but as they say when the going get's tough the tough get going -------------------- |
