[QUOTE="ItzzJake, post: 1286261, member: 107012"] So I used to have Snow Leopard, then I upgraded Lion. Today, I decided that I wanted to restore it for some reason. I wanted it to be back where it was when I first got my computer (but, running Mac OS Lion). I went to Disk Utility and I think I erased my partition. Then I booted it up and then it said install failed. "Mac OSX cannot be installed". How can I simply install Lion on to my computer? (I have the Lion install file on my external hard drive, I also have time machine backups. I DO NOT want to restore a backup if I don't have to.) Thanks, Jake [/QUOTE]
