Problems installing Restore data from DVD (moved from Vista)
Gateway P-6869FX
Specs Sorry, I didn't know which section to post this in, so move it as you see necessary. Short Story: When I try to re-install the restore data (drivers/operating system) on my hard drive using my restore discs it freezes like this. Long Story: I bought it refurbished from tigerdirect and it came set up as if it were a complete different model. All the drivers were wrong and even the restore disk was incorrect. So I installed the correct drivers from support.gateway just so I could get it working at least. I called Tigerdirect and they said I need to call gateway and gateway said I should call Tigerdirect... Eventually I got a guy who gets me a new set of restore discs. So, it took a while for the discs to arrive and when they did I was lazy and didn't install them right away. Then later I get the BDoD with a generic driver problem code. So, I pop in the new discs and they freeze like ... This. So, I call up gateway and they said I needed to talk to level 2 support, but they were not open on sundays and that I need to call back tomorrow. So, I did... and that was the day my warranty expired. Anyways, after trying to fix my problem myself I figured that the restore discs must be corrupt. So I bought some new restore discs. I finally got them today, and I get the same problem where they freeze with that empty dialog box. Last edited by Kagetora; March 28th, 2009 at 08:04 AM. |

Hi Kagetora. This is either an issue with your Recovery CD's or a hardware issue however you will need to be absolutely certain you have the right disks before investigating the second possibility. Unfortunately, we cannot help you with that.

Well, I used to different sets of recovery discs. I bought the latest set online using my model number and serial number. So, I know its not the recovery discs.
What would you suggest to troubleshoot what is causing the hardware issue? |

Troubleshooting hardware issues is not my area of expertise Kagetora. I'll move your topic to our Hardware Forum for more help. Good luck.
