i lost the system restoration disk for my old gateway g6-350. i dont even know the brand of some of the prereferals on this thing and id like to make a clean sweep of it before i give it away to a friend. Anybody know where i could find out what is on this computer and where to get the drivers from there? would gateway possibly send me a new restoration disk?

thanks for any help

Ok many of the device names will be found in device manager (click on the item in question and select properties...also it would be worth a shot talking to Gateway, they may have one, but you won't know until you ask http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/eek.gif http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Crazy.. I'm sitting here teching Gateway calls right now http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/tongue.gif

You can actually go right to our website, www.gateway.com/support/ (http://www.gateway.com/support/) , right there just put in your Client ID and your System Serial #. It will generate a list of all hardware in your machine and a listing of all available updated drivers for the hardware.
