Are all the Windows and Gateway updates and Hotfixes in? Look for a DVD rom fix on the Gateway website support. If there is no disk in the drive and it opens, you may want to replace it. You can try a work-around, I have no idea if it will solve the problem, but at boot open the BIOS, go to Boot sequence, Change HDD to boot first. DVD/CDrom 2nd or 3rd.
Click Start/My Computer then Right Click on the DvD Drive and select Properties. Click the Hardware Tab and double Click the Dvd drive or highlight it and click Properties. Click the DvD Region Tab and go down towards the bottom to change it by putting in a New Region.
Take a windows XP CD, Switch on your PC and go to "BIOS" menu and select "Boot From CD/DVD" whichever is applicable for your pc. Now insert the Win Xp disc i drive and start PC, Boot the Pc From CD Drive and you shall get the Blue screen of windows Installation. Restart the PC by hard pressing the power button for 30 secs. Now you will be able to login to windows.
Try opening your disk tray and cleaning the lens with a tissue and all of the drive from dust. If it still won't read you may have to buy a new optical drive as your current one has broken. Have fun :)
Probably means that either:
* no electrical power is reaching the CD-ROM drive
* no "data" is being transferred to/from the drive
* the electronics inside the CD-ROM drive have "died"
Check the "power" and "data" connectors.
If necessary, replace the drive with a new CD/DVD reader/writer.
I'm assuming the CD drive door is stuck and won't open. You will see a small hole in front of the drive. Take a pin and insert it in the hole and push it. The drive should open up.
