Are you sure the seller was giving you an un-opened laptop? Try taking it back and demanding they check out the problem. If they refuse, then the only option is to buy a 2.5" hard drive. I will also recommend backing up everything right now in case the drive fails.
..... It is new but maybe retaped. I couldn't do anything about this? Even if they refuse?
If they refuse service, then return the laptop to MSi and tell them the store refused service on your laptop. If you really wanted to, just tell them that if they refuse service, you're going to sue them (it's 100% legal to sue them for pre-maturely and purposefully voiding a warranty).
