also , I still get that code 10 error after installing that amd driver on gateway's site..

also I don't have the recovery partition ..

I kind of "inherited" this laptop from a family member , so I don't really know what has happened to it .. I do know that this was taken to the "geek squad" at best buy once (stupid thing to do in my opinion).

It came installed with XP , so this isn't a vista downgrade.

It's really obscure though that when I format and reinstall the system with the "gateway system restore disc" it doesn't ask for the drivers disc at all.. and I have the driver pack that came with the computer.. this process would be a lot easier if I could do that.
