Update: After serious testing across multiple G75VW users, we can confirm that the ASUS Recovery DVDs do NOT work on 1TB drives (regardless of manufacturer) if they are burned with the base AI Recovery Utility version that ships with the G75VWs. Make sure you install the latest version (1.0.24) BEFORE creating your Recovery DVDs.
G75VW-BBK5 (Stock configuration with added Crucial M4 256GB SATA SSD as OS boot drive)
I Just booted from it. After selecting Language and keyboard layout I got a menu with Continue, Use a Device... Troubleshoot and Turn Off. The Use a device option got me. If I go there it lists the USB drive I booted from.
