Seems like something in the CMOS or BIOS some sort of password secruity encryption module id guess does anyone have any ideas or ran across this before...Any solutions for a fix...
It doesnt allow me access to the system nor the hdd or cdrom .....just reads memory and locks,
all i can do is use F10 and F2 to enter the bios setup...........nothing else.
Very strange error for a new laptop by Gateway....even the gateway crew is stumped.... LOL

Appreciate any comments or suggestions....
Unit is still under warranty, i'd just like to know before i send it back to them....they think the hard drive has to be formatted......but i took it out and ran it (SATA) drive on myother laptop in a USB ext
case and it works fine....
any suggestions would be appreciated
