    Is it just me or is everyone can't make recovery disc right out of box? I had gt660r and gt680r and never had this problem. My new gt780r, it keeps saying OS_Install or data lable drive error and won't let me make recovery disc.. I tried to set it to factory default by restoring using F3 on boot screen and still same thing. I also can't install nvidia 275.33 driver coz it's not compatible with this model. According to msi forum mod, this laptop is hybrid and has gtx560m and intergrated gpu so this nvidia 275.33 can not be installed. Also.. It has slow raid 0 speed compared to gt660r or gt680r. Both gt660r and gt680r had 200mb/s for both sequential reading and writing but I am only getting 140mb for sequential reading and 160mb/s for sequential writing with this gt780. bah.. and no physical eject button for optical drive is errr... There is eject button on above keyboard but it only works when s-bar 2.0 is on which I prefer to turned off. I like this laptop but these factors are kinda annoying.. Are these just my problem or everyone's?

    You may want to consider changing your SIG. It still says GT680R!

    Just a thought......

    Not sure about why you can't make the recovery disks.

    You need the INF file from here to get the driver to work.

    then put it here - C:\NVIDIA\DisplayDriver\275.33\Vista 64bit\International\Display.Driver folder and run setup.exe source

    Yes, you need the Sbar software for the dvd drive eject button to work.
