    I have a Gateway MY6707 and I want to restore it to factory defaults using the recovery partition.
    Gateway site says to hit Alt and F10, but that only goes into boot menu, not recovery. Site also says to go to All Programs>Gateway, but there is no such folder in the programs list.
    Is there any way to restore the computer?

    Found the booklet that came with the laptop. It says to hit F8 to get the Advanced Setup Menu. I did get that menu but it didn't have the option it said to use (repair). I also found the disk that came with the laptop so just did a Windows reinstall. Not exactly what I wanted but the best I could do.
