    I just got my dv6700t but before I venture into a clean install, I want to try to remove all the crap and see how it goes from there. But I'm not sure if I should create the recovery DVD before or after the crap-removing process. :confused:

    I had the same doubt. You don't actually need to do that. Or should I say it has no effect whatsoever. The Recovery DVDs are created using the Recovery Disk titled drive and therefore removing or not removing has no effect.
