I have a gateway computer that won't boot into windows. Its boots only into dos mode. I have tried the command exit and win to no avail. I have gone into safe mode and shut down, run scan disk but nothing worked. I even tried the step by step confrigration which got me into windows but as soon as I shut down and restart it goes back into the dos prompt.

Check your msdos.sys file (it is by default hidden and read only) in the c:\ directory to make sure you do not have a BootGui=0 line in it.
Check for the winboot.ini file (also hidden -- tick "show all files" in Folder Options>View)
Check your autoexec.bat file for command.com entries.
