Hello,

Gateway suggests that you recover the system from the original discs
http://support.gateway.com/s/issues/2-1747069601.shtml

So if your emachine has a built in recovery feature or disc, use it instead.

Also try making a copy of the disc and installing it again. If the disc has
read errors, you will need to replace it
