google your motherboard and see if it takes you too gateway home site, and the find support downloads and they should have yor bios.
you mayalso have a motherboard which detects bios updates and you can boot into the bios and check for an auto update
Hello I dont think you need a bios update. The new drive.. is it set as a master? There should be a small jumper in the back. Master . Slave. Auto. Set the jumper to master.
Next.Take a good look at the ribbon cord and be sure its installed correctly on the back of the drive and on the motherboard.
Last.. reset the bios by using the jumper to clear c mos on the motherboard.
check elitegroup site for bios update? sometimes gateway doesn't get the latest updates! and also download manuel for motherboard from elites site and drivers! I hope this helps1
you can download gateway mercury motherboard bios update software from http://download.cnet.com/Gateway-Mercury-Motherboard-BIOS-Update/3000-2098_4-10005009.html which can help you to detect and download *********** board drivers.
Gateway does not currently have an update Bios available for your
system. What that means is that they have not received/tested/released
an update.
This system uses a Phoenix Technologies Bios. It is possible that they
have released a Bios revision that Gateway has not released. If you go
to Phoenix.com and click on Bios updates near the bottom, it links to
BiosAgentPlus, a free application that will scan your system and
provide you with information on obtain an updated Bios if it's
available.
You want to be very cautious using this though. Your Gateway system is
a n OEM product, meaning that when Gateway put this system together
they have permission to make changes to the system as needed including
the motherboard. It is possible that an update that this or any
software that is not provided by gateway finds may not work and could
cause problems. An incompatible Bios update could render your computer
inoperable.
It appears this BiosAgentPlus application will also scan for updated
drivers. More times than not using non-gateway provided drivers do not
work. This is esspeically true with laptops. Don't download everything
it suggests unless you are having a specific problem with that item. If
it's not broken - don't try to fix it, especially with a non-OEM driver.
Are you certain that you need an update at this time? If you do not
have a specific need that the update was written to solve, then it's
best to leave it alone.
for any Emachine bios or driver updates please go to www.gateway.com/support and search for model specific bios etc from there, gateway is the owner of the Emachine brand name
