Hello everyone! Im trying to reinstall lion on my macbook pro late 2011. I thought it would be easire than installing windows - but boy was I wrong! First it was saying that it couldntmfind the installation information. Then I guess it found, because I could get to the installation part itself. But it was saying that it would take about -2,434,234,673,24 hours to finish - negative billions hours, as you can see.
I thought it was just a bug and left the night. Nothing happened, but the numbers kept changing randomly.
Cancelled, tried twice, same error. Tried again, now cAnt get past the "information not foud" again.
Question: if I use a friend's thumb drive wirh a copy of Lion there, will I have some problem with authentication or something? Or it willbe the same as installing from recovery?
Its not an apple thumb drive, its just an image of lion that he did following some simple instructions on the internet.
I cant wait to download the whole image from apple store eith my hideous internet connection, so im quite desperate here.
Edit - sorry about the typos, im typing on an ipad! Thanks
I havent erased my partitions or anything - got the mac 2 months ago and just want to clean reinstall!
Thanks!
