Ok I have a Gateway Notebook. 3 months old. A few weeks ago it got unplugged unexpectedly and the battery died. Since then it wouldnt load into Windows it kept looping itself back to the "choose a mode screen" or whatever. The dumbass at Gateway had me format the hard drive and u se my recovery cd. the cd boots up but keeps looping either back to screen where you first hit "R" to run the cd or to a blue screen that prompts an "error cant continue...system has been shut down...fatal error..." blah blah. Gateway says its probably my hard drive and that theyll send me a new on. Does that sound right to you guys? And if it does, is it easy for me to take out the old hard drive and replace it? thanks for your help!
