Computer laptop Gateway is dead. Need files of it.

I have a gateway MX3702 Windows XP laptop. It worked fine one minute and then more nothing. It turns even if it is plug inn and the battery is fully charged. There are many class I had not been backed up and are extremely important. Is it possible to retrieve information from the dead laptop? Please let me know.

Thank you, Dan cotton

Hello
1. remove your disk from the laptop. How in the documentation of the bridge , you will find all the information here . (page 45)

2 buy somewhere external enclosure for 2.5 "HDD. You can find it on newegg here , ebay or any other site of sale at auction.

3. Insert your HARD drive to it and plug it into another PC or laptop. This way, you will be able to copy all your data.

    My computer laptop gateway continue giving message "no record ellee not office installed" but I can hear through my headphones, I can just talk through the microphone or recording the sound. Everything works on my pc

    Looks like your mic edge has been disabled somehow. You can call the gateway to see if there is a key combination to re - activate, or a way to re - activate in the Panel.

    Another way is to plug in a USB microphone or a USB Webcam with built in microphone...

    What will work restores your computer to its original factory state using HP recovery media.  It is a DVD and CD set that will erase the hard drive (removing all data, applications and settings, reinstall the original OS, drivers and utilities for HP. In some cases, you will be able to order a USB instead of discs.  You must order at HP; they cannot be downloaded.

    The link is on the software page and download drivers for your PC: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-15-Notebook-PC-series/7137590/model/7484025

    Once there, scroll to the bottom of the page and you will see an entry for the command Recovery Media-CD/DVD/USB. Click on the symbol '+' to expand this entty and click on order to press for more details.

  • Computer laptop GATEWAY with Windows 7 will not be updated, and I searched this site for instructions.

    I followed the instructions to make sure I don't understand the "update notification" on stop downs and other tips, but I have more patience at this point.  This has been going on and I can't the system up to date.  I made every effort (by previous questions and answers) to ensure that the free trial of Norton has been removed from this computer.  It is a laptop.

    Applications, (Norton and McAfee) are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself.

    [You may want to print these instructions for reference offline. If a step said to reboot, reboot.]

    1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

    2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all Norton software (including LiveUpdate and everything Norton Add ons) via Control Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view).

    4 IMPORTANT! -Online activate Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

    NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed step #7 below!

    5. right click on the file that you saved in step #1 above, and then select run as administrator.  DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    6. do a clean install of Norton 360 2011 (using your product ID, if need be) & reboot. CF. http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080514162318EN

    NOTE: Do NOT activate or install additional modules of Norton (for example, Norton Anti-Phishing) immediately.

    7. manually and repeatedly run LiveUpdate (Norton) until you get a prompt "no update more".

    8 reset the advanced settings of the IE by http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Reset-Internet-Explorer-settings

    9. open IE8 32 bit (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 [ignore if APPLIES to article] & run it in DEFAULT and modes difficulty then AGGRESSIVE. [1]

    NOPE! It installed fine, and now it is stuck in an ANOTHER infinite boot loop! (This laptop must love restart all the time).

    So yes, this is what he does now.

    It starts normally with the typical screen of Vista (the puke green bar fly across the screen). Then it comes up with the screen blue-green pretty fancy, and it says "Please wait while Windows continues to set up your computer...". »

    Right now, it comes up with this box beautiful error "Windows could not parse or treat [C:\Windows\Panther\unattend.xml] unattended Setup answer file. The answer file is invalid. "with the OK" "button. You click on 'OK', it stops and then restarts, shows the same message.

    Above is how the gateway recovery is supposed to work.

    Also, try this:

    Try using a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • Computer laptop Gateway does not load windows Vista, reads configuration data read error: System.

    OK a friend knows me to fix his laptop. Apparently what she was experiencing major problems, so he erased the disc and tried to reinstall Win Vista from disk. Will not work. I can get to where you can choose a partition to install the operating system to, and it says: Windows cannot find a system volume that meets its criteria for installation. My friend says he has just tried, form disassemble the computer an audit of all the parties to try ALL the different options during installation, as well as the options for the BIOS. Any ideas people? Here are the approximate specifications, because the owner has not been able to get the computer working for awhile:
    4 GHz, 4 GB RAM computer Gateway laptop, 2006, Phoenix TrustedCore, and a string of other interesting info that appears on the first screen of the error:

    9D.03 BIOS version

    632K RAM passed system
    3966M extended RAM passed

    System Configuration data read error.

    I'm not very tech savy and I'm not the owner of the PC, so I don't know all about it so go easy on me :).

    If your friend tried to reinstall Windows by using the defined gateway recovery disc (and this is the best way) and this recovery fails, the laptop has hardware problems. Disassemble laptops is a fickle business at best and while it sounds like the hardware problems started before your friend did this, it may have put the nails in the coffin of the laptop to take apart.

    At this point, you can try troubleshooting hardware or your friend can take the laptop to a competent professional (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad of the place). However, if the laptop has had hard use, your friend must remember that a cell of 4 years with major hardware problems probably won't be cost effective to repair.

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    I wish I had some good news for you, but I did not...

    Ordinarily, I advise to use HP recovery media to restore your PC to its original state. That would erase the entire disk, format the drive and install the operating system, drivers and utilities HP.

    Unfortunately, there is no support of HP recovery related to HP for your PC Product Page. This means that the stock HP is no longer the recovery media for your PC. They store any long recovery media for older PCs.

    Given that HP no longer provides a recovery media for your model, a few other sites, you should check are: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/

    Good luck
