Raymond, is there an operating system installed on the computer i.e.
Windows95 or 98. If this is a clean HD it needs to have the system files
transferred to it from a floppy with sys.com on it with the sys c: command.

Was given a GATEWAY 486/33 in order for me to access 5.25 floppys. Cant get
the system to boot up, error message reads..." Non system disk", it thens
jumps to BIOS setup, all settings are correct. I save and reboot but get
same error message...I thought it would boot with a DOS SETUP disk or maybe
WINDOWS setup disk, thinking it had no OS installed. Still no luck..is there
a particular type of boot disk I need that is unique to GATEWAY to boot up
this system?
