Re: Gateway Laptop Unable to Boot Via Any Device
Assuming it is for VISTA alone and is compatible with your model of laptop. I believe you can still boot via the CD/DVD drive using a bootable CD like an XP install CD or Vista install DVD. If you have not tried this yet, try booting from CD/DVD drive first. You must change boot sequence in BIOS settings to be able to do this.
I really doubt that it ties itself to a Vista bootsector otherwise you will be tied to Vista alone. That being said, you cannot even install Linux on it if ever. I do not think Gateway would do that.
Get a Vista installer DVD so you can try if it boots successfully and if it can prep your system for installation.
