    I purchased a dv6150us and made the recovery discs. I then had to return it for a new one. Can i use the recovery discs i made from the first computer on the new one, or should i make new ones before a clean install

    If the one you returned was the same model, yes.

    Yeah if it is just an exchange then there shouldnt be any issues. Try it, if it wont work it will display the message when you boot with the DVD.
