    Hey I got six discs from them but they are rather confusing. Each disc reads a different label:

    1 of 3
    2 of 3
    3 of 3
    1 of 2
    2 of 2
    1 of 1

    I got these discs directly from Gateway and I am confused as to which one to put into my computer first? Does anybody know?

    Trial and error works. Try 1 of 2 first, then 1 of 3 to see what you get back. I never bothered with the data discs and deleted the recovery partition since it's just a gimmicky feature that tries to emulate a disc image of your computer.
