Gateway Motherboard info/manual
Posted: Tue Jul 05, 2005 9:06 pm
Hi, i've just registered as i need some information desperately. I hope someone can help me!
I'm trying to format the hard drive on an old Gateway PC that has had Windows XP installed on it. I have searched this site and the whole internet to try and find how to access the BIOS settings.
When i start the PC there are no on-screen messages stating how to enter the BIOS. The thing is booting from the hard disk before anything else so i cannot format the hard drive at all.
The motherboard is an Intel Santorini, part number 4000729. I have found the motherboard on Gateway's site, the link to the page is http://support.gateway.com/s/MOTHERBD/I ... 7401.shtml. I have tried searching for the serial number which is 0001958829 but it is not found.
All i want to do is format the damn thing!
Can somebody help me please?!?!
