    Hi there,

    I need help with solving a problem I created all by my own when trying to do a whole clean restart and recovery for my system.

    I started doing a whole reboot with the gateway system where you start the laptop from factory settings since my laptop has been operating very slow.

    In the middle of the process the laptop froze for way to long a period and I stupidly decided to press the shutdown button and forced the laptop to shutdown like that.

    When I try to restart it off course it wouldnt. So I installed the windows from the disc that came with the laptop. But after the installed finished I cant find any drives or I can not access the partition where all the programs to recover everything is.

    Question the partition is still there but I cant access it, is there anyway I can access the gateway recovery so I can do a clean restart again?

    Or if not where can I download all the drivers for my laptop and all the programs that came with my laptop originally with?

    Thank you, any advice will be appreciated

    Johen
