    I just bought a GE62 yesterday (yay!) and 2x 500gb EVO's. I wanted to use the burn recovery to put Windows on the new 1tb raid 0, but when I made the iso's (I didn't have a usb stick larger then 16gb), ISO 4 is 6.7gb and too big to burn to physical DVD. Has anyone else run into this issue?

    I think it's a well known problem/feature - you need one 9 GB DVD.

    I'm also thinking that the assumption is people will have sufficiently sized thumb drives considering how cheap and ubiquitous they are.

    I usually end up picking up a few when I leave Micro Center as the store brand ones are pretty cheap at the checkout. You can never have too much flash. :)
