[QUOTE="Clummo, post: 1268470, member: 208467"] Hi guys, * I downloaded the Lion OS upgrade from the App store today but the install has failed. After the first reboot I get the on screen message "Install failed.* Mac OS X could not be installed on this computer because the disk Macintosh HD is damaged and can't be repaired" * I have tried Disk Utility but that doesn't give me the option to repair the disk. Ideally I'd like to format and reinstall OSX completely but I don't know where to start with that. I seem to be stuck in a vicious circle because the Lion DMG is mounted (it appears in Disk Utility) and every time I reboot I get the "Install Mac OS X" screen which leads to the install failed message.* Please can somebody help?
