    Hi Everyone,

    I recently purchased a 2nd hand Gateway, unfortunately the HDD was completely dead on arrival, and my attempts at getting a recovery set from Gateway haven't been successful, I was wondering if anyone still has a set of recovery media for a P-6872h kicking around and would be willing to share.

    Many thanks in advance,
    --aleks

    Another way is if you have a W7 install dvd already you can just install it and then go to Gateway site and use your serial number lookup and find the drivers for your laptop and download and install those and you be up and running if you want to go that route.
