Open the case and check the power and data Ribbon cables connections
and
make sure all fitted firmly in their Sockets. Change the cables to a
new
ones
known to be working if that doesnt work. If changing cables doesnt work
try
the HDD in a different PC . Try to Run the Diagnostic tool on the HDD
and
test the health of the HDD from Gateway website below (copy and past
the
link
in your browser if it's not active):
GWSCAN 5.12 is a diagnostic hard drive utility
http://support.gateway.com/support/drivers/getFile.asp?id=21280&dscr=GWSCAN%205.12&uid=209370867
Part Number: GWSCAN512GWSCAN 5.12 GWSCAN 5.12 is a diagnostic hard

utility

If that don't work its dead!

Get a bootable floppy/CD with ptedit and boot from it and run the SFC
command:
