Gateway Computer Problem, please help

lol i've reformatted so many times, usually more than once a week. I'm using the System Restore CD's, i assume this is the right way to do it? But yeah i'll do it one more time and then take it in.

Not what I had in mind (and the last OEM i bought was so long ago they didnt have restore cds). I mean actually redoing the system by booting off the OS cd and doing it proper-like :)
 
sorry to ask, but how would i do that? i have a general idea, but could you tell me how to do it so i dont mess anything up? sorry for the dumb question
 
1. Get the actual Windows cd (im assuminmg you'll want windows but its the same deal with Linux) ... doesnt have to be a legit copy but what i meant was a Windows Installation Cd rather than a System Restore CD

2. Set the computer to boot from the CD

3. Put the CD in the drive

4. Restart the machine

5. Install :)
 
It didn't come with a Windows Installation CD, all it came with is 3 System Restoration Discs. Disc 1 has hardware drivers, backup of apps, and NT 4.0 Driver Locator Utility. Disc 2 Version ME rev 1.1 and this is the CD i put in my drive and restart and then it says go to windows or install windows and i pick install to reformat. Disc 3 has Bakcup of all applications.
