Need to know what kind of cord i need

We need to know your motherboard model number or the gateway pc model number in order to give you the best possibly choices.

Test your PSU or replace it if your power supply units fan is not working your PSU is faulty

One bad lead can cause a computer to continue on a cycle or to shutdown or fail to detect/ boot up

Test all leads that attach to your hard drive including electrical extensions,IDE,SATA

the leads from your motherboard to your hard drive make sure they have a secure connection and are not faulty or just replace them there probably old and faulty

make sure all leads that are attached to your drives dvd\cd 3 1/2 inch floppy have secure connections and are not faulty or just replace them they are probably old and faulty ?
hope this helps

with that information about bigger harddrive what bios version do you have?

rachellem775, before you install the hard drive into your computer.. you need to check the setting on the hard drive that you're going to install.. on the hard drive itself it has a sticker with the settings, you need to make the 2nd hard drive that you're going to install as a SLAVE drive.. you can check that on the sticker.. after that, you can connect the cables to the hard drive next to the main hard drive.. that would make the old hard drive as the main drive and your new harddrive as the slave drive.. you can interchange the settings, check the sticker on your hard drive.. all hard drive have that setting information..

just try to take a look at the ports of your USB and the emachine. it it fits, then it will connect

1- you have to change your power supply and you have to change your hard drive to one biger than you have but it must be IDE.

Hey jbulldogst,

According to information provided by the manufacturer, the Gateway 310S (2900621) uses a 4-bay micro tower.

If you'd like any additional information on the original factory specifications, I've provided a link to Gateway's support page below:
