I am currently attending college for IT and have an old Gateway to work on to learn. At first it wouldn't boot at all. I went into setup and reset to defaults and now it says it doesn't recognize the hard drive. I got it to go through all of the POST tests and come up with a screen that has information but I'm not sure what all of it means. My textobook is no help. How do I know if my hard drive is bad and what type it is? I have no documentation or discs to work with. I need all the help I can get because I really want to learn how to do this. Any help is appreciated.
