    For some reason, whenever I boot up my computer it takes me to the Gateway Recovery Management screen (option to do a factory restore is grayed out).

    I've tried running a bootdisk of Windows 7, but it still loads up the Recovery Management.

    Gateway Recovery management or Windows 7 recover?

    Gateway Recovery Management.

    I've managed to bypass it by running the "last good configuration".
    Doing a fresh install as I type.
