A 4sx-33 is a very old machine, and it is highly unlikely that Gateway has a
recovery disk for it.  Even if they did, it would not be free.  Try updating
the BIOS, but you'll have to look in Gateway's archives.  Does your mobo &
BIOS support the hard drive you're using?  Those older machines can't
recognize big drives, and may not recognize your other peripherals.  You
need to do some serious updates.  I'd start with a new mobo and CPU.

Ricky,
You need to contact Gateway (Look it up on the internet for the support ph
#)
They probably have a recovery disk that is an image file of all of your
original apps/configurations before the unit shipped. Once you acquire the
recovery disk, run it and everything should be back to it's original
configuration and all of the drivers for your mobo and associated attached
peripheral devices should be be reinstalled and recognized.
Good Luck,
