Understanding system recovery options

Most computer problems can be solved by following the
information in
gateway.com. Problem-solving may also involve re-installing
some or all of the computer's software (also called recovering
or restoring your system). Gateway provides everything you
need to recover your system under most conditions. A backup
copy of your operating system may be provided on a CD or
DVD, as well as a backup copy (CD) of your factory-installed
drivers and applications.
If your optical drive is a recordable drive, we recommend that
you make a backup of your factory-installed software as soon
as you get your new Gateway system.
If you are still having problems even after you follow
troubleshooting steps, you can use Microsoft System Restore
to roll back your system to a previous condition when drivers
and programs worked correctly.
