[QUOTE="Edgar_D, post: 1347168, member: 230774"] Hello technophiles! I work with video a lot and I'm considering upgrading my hard drive. I have spotted a 1TB SATA hard drive on ebay and I'm tempted. I have heard that my macbook pro (bought in September) has "internet recovery", whereby if you install a blank hard drive it will automatically connect to the net and download and install OS X Lion, which sounds convenient given that the machine came with no operating system install disc. I have all my data backed up onto an external hard drive. Does anyone have any experience of internet recovery? I'm guessing its not as straightforward as it sounds. If its not an option, I've heard you can buy a USB from Apple with OS X Lion on it and then boot from that to install. Is this the best way to go? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
