[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1355804, member: 46727"] As you found out, you can not install an older operating system on your new iMac. Are you starting the machine by holding down the option key and then selecting the Recovery Partition? I think you are.. anyway, use Disk Utility from Recovery to wipe the original OS X partition clean. Afterward, select to reinstall Lion. If that doesn't work, you may have to call Apple care and have them walk you through some steps to get you back up. [/QUOTE]
