    I think it's F11 at boot , maybe F12 (I think F12 is for DELL)

    I think its F8 and then the top option "repair my computer" Gateway integrated it with the windows advanced boot menu.

    It probably flashes the second you turn on the notebook (something about advanced recovery or "for recovery options")...
    I've seen everything from F2, tab, F1, F10... try anything I guess. :D
