I was able to hold down the f10 key and then boot to the live ubuntu cd.
Maybe I just got lucky and mine came clean.

Right but how did you boot to the CD. I can't even boot to the CD to
install anything, including Unbuntu. As soon as it tries and boots from
the CD Drive this little message appears that says something along the
lines of "This computer was shipped with re-install cds for verification
purposes, please insert the CD...." This is not the case for all the
computers I have, as a few came completely clean.

Sorry Karl,
I installed ubuntu on the Gateway e4100 I received so can't help with
windows.

OK, so I have 20 wonderful Gateways that I picked up from the USDA,
one problem. I can't boot to a CD to image/reinstall XP because
there is a little bit in the bios that checks for the original
restore CD from Gateway (which of Course I do not have) How do I
bypass this? I would really like to start testing out some imaging
techniques with these, but I can't build a master image without
getting passed this little hiccup in the Bios. Thanks for the help
folks.
