Like Steve said you need all the appropriate drivers. The System Configuration Utility 
that Steve mentioned may not correctly identify a specific hardware if the driver 
is not installed. You may need to actually open the PC. 

A long shot but you may contact Gateway for the drivers. I did it once with HP and 
they pointed me to the right website. Just curious, why did you wipe out the Windows 
2000? It's like you're already in heaven but went to hell instead.
