[QUOTE="AppleJack2, post: 1569758, member: 321477"] [b]Fresh Install Lion OSX on New HDD?[/b] First of all you probably dont need a new drive. Backup your drive or if dead and unrecoverable format the old disk (I use OSX Journaled). Then download Lion from App Store but dont click continue when the download completes. Download Lion Diskmaker [url=http://liondiskmaker.com/]DiskMaker X[/url] and insert a USB drive It will "see" the OSX Lion installer in Downloads and the drive and direct you to make the USB Installer. Then insert the key in the machine, hold alt at startup after the bong, select the usb key as boot option, run disk utility `(if you havent formatted the HDD) - if you have proceed with Lion install as normal. Hope this is of some help, pm me if you get stuck. Details matter, it’s worth waiting to get it right. - Steve Jobs [/QUOTE]
