I was wondering if any one could tell me were I can find replacement disks.
I really need to run the system restoration but I'm missing one of the disks.

I only have 2 of the 3 disks, I have:
System Restoration Kit 14.6 Disc 1 [Part #7510030]
Application CD Version 2.5 Disc 3 [Part #7510036]

I need the 2nd disc, ( Operating System CD) I've tried everything I can think of from contacting Gateway to searching Ebay.

If anyone could please let me know were I can find it I would be most grateful!!

Also I figure since I'm asking about the one I need I might as well ask about the either ones that are missing too. (half of my disks disappeared in my last move)

I'm also missing:
Rent Way GP6-633 Restore CD [Part #7509464]
And disc 1 and 2 of the 7 disk set:
Microsoft Works Suite 2000 Revision 1 [Part #7508941]

Thank you!

As far as I know, according to european law if you have the license for the software you can acquire the media itself from any source you can, i.e. download it.
You must make sure that the media you acquire is an EXACT MATCH for the license otherwise this is not legal and probably it will not work.

Usually those are keyed to the machine type. If you can't find IDENTICAL ones for that machine, I believe there will be no joy.

You can avoid many of these Windows problems with Linux. Linspire eases the transition for new users
