[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1506538, member: 131855"] Mountain Lion was never released on disc so that is a no go. Lion was released on a USB stick drive but I don't think Mountain Lion was ever released that way. Other than going to an Apple store, here's the only thing I can think suggest that should work. You will need a thumb drive (usb stick). 1. Find a friend or neighbor that has a Mac with OS X 10.6.8 or higher. 2. Launch the App store and log into your account. 3. Download Mountain Lion but [B]do not[/B] complete the installation. You are going to transfer the file to the stick drive following [URL="http://osxdaily.com/2012/07/25/create-os-x-mountain-lion-boot-dvd-usb-drive-liondiskmaker/"]these directions[/URL]. The directions and software work for Mountain Lion as well. Once the usb drive is created you can use it to complete the re-install on your Mac. Be ware that this process erases the contents of the stick drive if you go that route. Just noticed the directions mentioned burning a DVD so that should work as well if you have an external burner.
