I got a MBP a couple of months ago and I have been very happy with it, but since the begininning I have wanted to start with a clean pallet and format the HDD as I bought it used. I got a copy of Lion and got the Installed.dmg or whatever it is and burned it to a disk to format the HDD. I then turned my MBP on while holding "c". Everything was working great! It started installing, but when it got to around 30 mins in the ETA it gave me an error.
" Mac OS X could not be installed on your computer. Mac OS X can't be installed on the disk Macintosh HD. Visit Apple. Click Restart to return to your previous version of Mac OS X"
After googling it I found several troubleshooting steps to try. I tried resetting my PRAM. I also tried re-sizing my HDD. After trying multiple times and getting the same error, I am about to just give up on Mac. I just want to start "fresh" and I can't. *sigh* Please Help me Mac nerds. Ily <|3
