    Might be something to do with the RAID configuration and/or Intel RapidStorage?

    I haven't found the pre-installed crapware to be a problem at all on this laptop, and if you perform a "restore to MSI factory settings" using the Burn Recovery utility, you get the option of choosing what bundled software gets installed or not.

    I just accidentally deleted the recovery partition, great.

    OK forget what i said earlier...

    Can you please tell how to install a fresh copy of Windows 7 using a USB flash disk? it didn't work for me earlier, do i need some kind of drivers?

    Much appreciated.

    In what sense does it "not work"? If you have the correct ISO and the device configured correctly, it should be a snap.

    I would blow out all of the partitions and completely start over.
