Just posted to a similar problem in another thread. I mentioned earlier the possibility of the Recovery Partiton causing the problem. I think I have a solution. If you have access to Partition Magic I think you will see the hidden recovery partiton that was part of the original Gateway hard drive. It will be a small FAT file system partition. Use PM to reformat that partition to NTFS and merge it with the larger partition. None of the files should be affected by PM, but make the back up disks just in case. See if that allows My Computer to ID the hard drive.
