[QUOTE="pian0, post: 1295100, member: 214653"] Hmm, that's what I thought, that I could just use the USB stick to reinstall if necessary, but one of the Q&A's for that product says it is not compatible with the current generation of MacBook Air. (This is actually where I learnt the unfortunate news) I am starting to wonder whether maybe the person who answered the question was mistaken. Can anyone confirm that it is possible to reinstall Lion onto a current-generation MacBook Air using the USB stick and no internet connection? Is it also possible to create a bootable install disk on a hard drive / thumb drive, rather than a cd? If so I could make my own USB stick if I wanted, instead of buying their expensive one... I will not be carrying an optical drive. Thanks a lot. [/QUOTE]
