Searching on Gateway site I found that the "eRecovery Management"
software can start using Alt+F10 at boot time. That worked perfectly
fine except that it didn't give me an option to choose the language and
installed Windows 7 in French! The first install gives option of
English/French in Canada and I expected it would do the same on recovery.
Result: "borrowed" another Win7 Home Premium x64 for install and swapped
the key to original.
Advantage: no crapware from Gateway and gave away a 2.5" new HDD at cost.
Thanks everyone for the inputs.
