Well ive come to the conclusion that its not the cd rom in the gateway laptop and that it has something to do with the harddrive itself.
Ive reformatted the HD while it was in another laptop and yet i still get the same error message. And I have done his laptop for him several times before.
It says that I need to use a vaild system disk when i try to boot from the windows cd and when I boot with no cd it just says no OS installed.
I Will try making a new boot disk with a brand new floppy and see if that helps any.
