Trying to fix up a Gateway computer?
December 9th, 2009 Posted by: admin
I have a gateway computer that i’ve been trying to fix up - whenever I try to install Windows XP/2000/Ubuntu, it finds a bunch of errors.
I’d really like to get this computer working, it has a 300GB HD, TV inputs, USB ports out the wazoo, and all that other good stuff.
Can someone help me with what to do.. or have a suggestion on what to replace? Any help is appreciated.

I have formatted the hard drive (the Windows installation did it.)
The windows installation is to the point where its copying the installation files to the disk, then it gives me an error that it can’t find/can’t copy the file.
The Linux installation just gives me cryptic errors before it even does anything.
Anything else? ask.
I just want to get it to a point where it’s usable… I really don’t care what operating system.
