Hi: Depends on what OS you plan to install and what hardware you have to install it with. Also depends on the age of your Computer. Let us know. Windows ME and XP can boot directly from the installation CD but you may need to set the "Boot Order" to "CDROM" first. Windows 9X may need a Boot floppy, then install the OS from the application CD. How did you do a format? Sounds like you used a Boot floppy. How old is your Gateway?? Windows XP may not install on it.
