Perhaps you are not aware that the light blue type in our posts are links to tutorials which explain in depth with illustrations how to do each step. I just posted the process for copying out your files using the Repair CD: System Repair Disc - Create
You can also do this from the DVD (Win7 installer fits on a DVD, not a CD) once you get it.
What about Gateway Recovery? Do you have the Recov partition or made the Recov disks, or have any disks? Boot the disks to clean reinstall, or use the hotkey to trigger the Recovery partition.
First use the System Recovery Options command line to run through the commands SIW2 posted above.
This is an interactive process. If you have any questions, ask them back and we will give you further explanation and new steps. If you want the fix, you have to do the work.
