My gateway amd 3500 boots up then crashes to this message
If you have a rescue disc or the original installation disc, you can use that to go to your menu to restore your system...hopefully.
SOURCE: new laptop
Open the hard drive bay and make sure the hard drive is properly seated. close bay
reboot and enter bios to see if hard drive is detected in bios, if the hard drive is detected and still will not boot use recovery console to recover the OS.<ALT><F10>
If the bios does not recognize tthe hard drive, replace hard drive.
SOURCE: Poor Installation
The only solution is to increase the RAM to at least 512 MB. Then install WinXP Pro. and enjoy. Else keep fighting!!!

Were you having problems with the disk-drive?
Insert the "System Restore" disk into the CD-drive.
Restart the computer, and press DELETE to enter BIOS SETUP.
Change the "boot order", to make the CD-ROM the _first_ boot-device,
demoting the disk-drive to the _second_ boot-device.
Save the change, and restart the computer.
It will boot from the CD-drive, and you can choose to reinstall Windows or to start the "Windows Repair" task. First, try the "repair" option.
