Hello guys, I'm getting my new ssd sooner or later, properly on monday, therefor I'm preparing for it now!
as i understand there is a "hidden" built-in Recovery drive that will allow you to switch hard drives and then do a clean Lion install on the new hard drive through downloading in the recovery menu.
but since i have not yet gotten a 100% YES thats true, thats the way you do it on macbook late 2011 then i have to prepare in other ways aswel, this being getting a USB booted (will be removing CD/DVD drive and replace with a optibay for the old hdd, and use it for storage.)
So I'm trying to make this USB-Booter but i can't, I've been trying everything now and I've finally reached a dead end! I cannot see Lion OSX in the Purchased Tap in appstore, so i can't do the option key+click to "re-download" lion for the usb... I've tried everything now, looked anywhere to redownload it, but its nowhere.. had the idea mac/apple was easy and simple, but only had troubles since i switched from windows, i can't even make a hdd shortcut on my desktop.. anyways, can anyone please help??
