ps i also put the hard drive into the gateway, so the dell is now bare besides the motherboard which i am not too sure what to do with...and the gateway will still not boot up!
 
Try going into the bios and switching the boot squence on the hard drives. Check if by temporalily unplugging the new harddrive allows the computer to boot. Most likely, it is looking for the OS on the wrong drive. If you cannot properly change the boot order, a good program is Smart Boot Manager, which can be booted off from a floppy.
 
boot to the repair console and do a fixboot... your master boot record might need to be updated due to your new configuration.
