Computer crashed, not sure how to recover it and what to use.

You will need to buy another licensed copy of windows 8 if you didn't burn the recovery disks while the system was operational.

You might also be able to buy the recovery disks from gateway them-self. Contact gateway customer support for more information. Make sure you have the make and model number for your machine and be SURE they have the correct information or you might get a disk for another system.

For data recovery,you can rely on a data recovery program to recover data from the crashed laptop.Download this one to have a try.

WE ARE LOOKING A RECOVERY FOR MY SON GATEWAY COMPUTER MD 7330

if its your motherboard that crashed then ther is no problem with your hard disk. connect your hard disk to any other computer and you can access all the files in it.
if it is your harddsik that crashed then try recovery utilities like western digital data storege manger or any other disk recovery tool available for free. if still it fails then you can recover your data if you hand over your hard disk to the nearest service centre. but recover from a hard disk only if its very valuable. thay will charge you per MB of data recovered

Try to start the computer in safe mode by tapping the F8 key while it boots up,If the startup options screen comes up,Choose last known good configuration,Post back details and we can go from there.

Hi there
boot into bios and make sure that the system is seeing the harddrive and if it is than i would use your system recovery disk and boot to it and let the disk recover the system

try not putting password in it when you do a recovery i have xp and i never use password i have the same error when i recover too but i just ignore it always recover with new instalation

Pardon me, but NO! The statement, "two things are responsible for booting up computer RAM and Hard Drive" is simply not true.

A hard drive crash COULD cause the symptoms you describe, but that is more indicative of a virus infection. When you say the XP reinstallation disk would not start it exactly how did you use that disk? Attempt to use the repair console? Boot directly from the disk? Attempt reinstallation of the whole operating system? If you attempted reinstallation, do you also have the specific drivers for all of the components E-Machines used when they built your computer (you will need at least some of them.)

Post again with some more details about how you used the reinstallation disk.

change your primary boot up,,go to ur bios and change it to cd first boot,,then your laptop will start reading you recovery cd's,,anyway, if ur 1st cd is done, ur computer will also ask for the succeeding cd's..but r u rily sure that the ms office is a package of you computer when u boght it??
