Need recovery/restore disk for gateway laptop

Hello

I'm having a few issues with my Gateway laptop and I want to restore it back to the factory settings. Are there any sites that I can download a recovery/restore disk for free? It has windows 7 on it.

Will that restore disk have the drivers on it I will need?

Thanks

Most new computers give you an option to create restore dvd's and or they have a restore partition on the hard drive... Look in your manual.

Gateway must give you the ability to restore......
