    Hey.
    Just got my "HP Pavilion dv6-1362nr Entertainment Notebook PC".

    It's loaded with #@#@ !!!!

    I tried to do a clean install. Restarted, pressed f11, did recover option of HP (not windows). But the DAMN thing did not ask me about installing the software, IT JUST INSTALLED IT!!!!

    How can I clean install it? I want it ultra-clean.

    Help

    thank you

    You need to use a Windows 7 disc. Not a recovery disc, not your recovery partition.
