It will probably have to be RMAed. But I looked at your board and it says this on there site.

xpress recovery requires a portion of the HDD partition, dont think that will work because my HDD's never had windows on them, they were fresh

Not really.I sent my VGA back to MSI and they only wanted the CARD ONLY. If they got anything else back they would not give them back. So I doubt you have to give them all the cables. All they will do is put a new bios chip back on your board and send it back to you.
