Okay, but just to be sure. My 80 gig WD drive decided not to be
recognized by my Gateway. I pulled it and put it as a slave on my
other computer, whos slave works fine, and no luck.

DOA????

Do you mean the Gatway BIOS does not "see" the drive or the OS?
Does the other computer BIOS see the drive?
Is the new drive set as master or slave or cable select

That is correct. That 1st screen that shows white on a black screen
shows the 2 cdroms but no hard drive.

It is set to master and has worked fine for the last 2 years. Just
happened a couple days ago.
