That's weird...looks like LiLo was installed or something. Were you using this as a Linux box in the past?

No, nothing like that. This was given to me by the neighbor when I set up her new machine. All she ever does is check email and she would have no idea how to do anything like setting up a dual boot system. I wonder if Gateway has some sort of setup in there...they are using their own splash screens and status displays...
I think I'm hosed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :hissy:

The Gateway display should be in the BIOS itself.
Weird that it's not using Lilo...that looks *just* like a horked Lilo install.
To be absolutely sure, go to the prompt and:
C:\ > fdisk /mbr
