[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1522711, member: 110816"] OK, excellent, if this USB drive worked before..no reason it wouldn't work now.. So power down the MBP, plug the USB drive in and when you power it up immediately hit the Option key which will bring up the [URL="http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1310"]Startup Manager[/URL]. Once you get there, you should see the USB drive if it was properly recognized, if so, choose it to boot into the installer. Once you get to the installer, go to Utilities->Disk Utility and that should show you the hard drive. Have it re-partition the drive with the current scheme (1 partition usually) which will erase the HD and now you can go through the installation.. [/QUOTE]
