What OS was installed on it before you installed the Windows 7 64bit?

You will need drivers for the Win 7 64bit or Vista 64bit.

Check the Gateway web site Gateway Official Site: Notebooks, Laptops, Desktops, All-in-Ones, Displays, Monitors, Accessories
Click the Support tab at top of page then select Drivers and Downloads.
Find them for your model for Windows 7 64bit or Vista 64bit.

Vista normally works in 64bit if no Win7 64bit is available.

You may need to try compatibility mode for Vista drivers.

i have downloaded the recommended SATA AHCI Driver from gateway Here

http://support.gateway.com/product/?cmpid=topnav

and tried to install them and after its Almost finished installing i get this message
This Operating System is Not Supported Setup will Now Exit

this is the driver i have used in the past when i was running just Vista but it wont work with Windows 7 i just ran the compatibility checker it tried to install it again but this time i got this message
This Computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing this software Setup will now Exit

i have not changed any hardware just the operating system

Here is why it won't work. It is a 32bit driver and you need a 64bit.
Gateway does not supply a 64bit driver.

So you can download and Save the driver then right click and try compatability mode as I posted the link above.
Tutorial here> Compatibility Mode

I see no other option.

Try running the Intel Updater from here:
Intel® Driver Update Utility

Try what theog posted.

He evidenly knows it is Intel hardware which I did not know or find on the Gateway sight.

That should give you the most up to date proper driver.

Here is hoping and good luck.

i have downloaded the recommended SATA AHCI Driver

It's not the SATA driver -- its the card reader driver. Available at that same website (Gateway Support - Downloads & Support Documents) Don't forget to change the "Operating System" selection to Windows 7 to filter out all the incompatible drivers.
