Gateway Recovery Disk

Those comments are not at all helpful to the user. Most also have an option to make the recovery disks at any time that the o/s works with an included software program that is in the Start/programs menu. I agree with danny2000 and would add it is bad business practice to throw the recovery on a partition and NOT provide actual backup dvds with the purchase. Shame on Gateway! Hi Almost ALL manufacturers have done this for years.no discs UNLESS YOU create them. It saves THEM money. All the best Brett.

You can also get a copy of whatever windows version was installed and install a fresh copy of windows that way using the key from the sticker. It does not have to be the recovery disk used.

You will have to install drivers and such yourself but windows update is pretty good now of getting most of them for you. The added benefit is that all the bloatware that came on the laptop will not be put back and you'll have a plane vanilla windows installation for you to do with what you want just a thought anyway. Here's the deal. I found this thread and it seems like a logical place to ask a question.

I did create the gateway recovery disk for my daughter's laptop. Run Valdr Manual. In the BIOS setup have set the DVD drive as the first boot option followed by the HD. When starting the laptop, I hear the DVD spinning but no restoration options appear. If I press F10 to go to boot options I do not get an option from the DVD.

F8 does not show an option to Restore/repair the machine. If I go into Safe Mode and access the contents of the DVD then launch the Recovery Console and select Restore to factory settings, it says to reboot the PC. Upon rebooting, it just returns to the normal boot process with no option to restore. So can anyone suggest what to do now in order to reset the PC to factory settings.
