[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1485144, member: 131855"] I confess I am a bit confused but it sounds like you might have formatted whatever drive contained the Mountain Lion image. Even if I am wrong about that there are three other issues here that complicate things. 1. If you are going to use a drive to boot the Mac it won't work if the drive is formatted from Windows. AFAIK Windows utilities cannot format drives as MacOS Extended Journaled which is needed. 2. I suggest purchasing a legit copy of Mountain Lion. I believe the last few trojans to make it onto Macs were distributed via torrents of Apple software. 3. Doubt many members will help with installation of tormented software. There are no legit torrents of OS X so the forum is not going to get involved in helping circumvent copyright. [/QUOTE]
