I'm afraid I haven't got an installation of Python 2.5 to test this on, but whenever I use GDAL I import it as follows:

from osgeo import gdal

This is because the gdal module is located inside the osgeo module.

Let me know if that works,

it does not work. I get an error.
I tried to show him the path, but without any effect.

maybe some other ideas?

First you must get the correct version of GDAL for Python 2.5
Then the install notes tell you to add the directory to the search path PATH in Windows.
You cannot add path names using import.
Here is the download page and instructions
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/GDAL/

I use

from osgeo import gdal...
