    There's nothing else you can do i think .. and even if someone sends you the disk i don't think it will work , coz of OEM , i could be wrong though

    If you using w7 you can create a system image of the actual state of your HDD , is there a reason why you want to go back to factory settings ?

    Gt740 ships with windows 7 does it not? Just use the recovery tools on windows 7 to make a backup system image.
