    What I do fresh install with recovery is I create recovery DVD.
    Run recovery from DVD without Add-on software.
    After recovery copies two discs and restarts, it will ask you disc #1.
    Just cancel at this step and recovery will go through the rest of recovery process without bloat ware, but full drivers and utilities.
