    i have a gateway laptop and im thinking the hard drive is gone in it but need some help to make sure of that. when i start ikt up it clicks 3-4 times and then acts as if it was goona start but it gets to the windows screen and slows up a lil but the sits there for a few min then a blue screen with writing comes up but goes away to quickly to ready anything that is on the page and then it just re-cycles and starts the process all over again. if anyone could please help me out with any info is greatly appreciated. again thanks in advance for any help that is given.
