FX6802 Recovery Test Update

So, I got the recovery disks from Gateway and tried them out on a disk I had been trying the recovery on (I didn't remove the existing partitions) and ended up with the same result.  I tried it again after deleting the existing partitions and it worked.  I'm not sure if it was a fluke because I was pretty convinced it was a power supply issue after reading some forum posts like this one:

Hopefully thats a good sign.  I might try my original recovery disks that I burned to see if they work too.  I'm pretty sure the disks were unpartitioned when I tried them the first time though.
