with some help from ps2pk using his bootdisk worked great for the install.
he gave me some gateway file so the keyboard and mouse and sound is working fine.

i thought i was having boot issues but i had to go into bios and make my other hard drive bootable...duh.. now the boot sequence seems to work fine.

-still have issues with shutdown and my webcam is weird. it will light up the "Gateway USB 2.0" webcam and seem like it takes a picture but its all black..
-still have issus with sleep not waking up

all i know of at the moment.
