GATEWAY/YUKON PXE V6.60-.1.2 Pre-boot eXe Environment
Used Gateway md7818u laptop (missing install disks). Came with no spin drive (ST9500325AS) so I installed a replacement drive (ST9500325AS) after initializing, formatting, (Set Active partition) writing to it...testing it successfully as an external drive on an XP Pro desktop. Drive worked fine. Now I moved drive to Gateway md7818u laptop and it is not detected:

Called the (notorious) Gateway Tech Support and after being hung up on three times got a tech who emailed me this file: MT6840_BIOS_7715
But I can't seem to find a way to get it loaded. F6 in Windows 7, or XT or Vista doesn't work. In my third day of installation. Help! The Mother Of All Hard Installs.
