[QUOTE="simplyfoods, post: 1437031, member: 267504"] I've tried to upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion, but am told that the installation failed and that 'OS X can't be installed on the disk Macintosh HD, because a recovery system can't be created.' From what I've read online, this has something to do with my hard drive partitions. If I were to create a bootable thumb drive with the ML installer file, would I be able to complete the installation or would the same problem occur? I'm more than happy to erase all my hard drive data and partitions if that's necessary and I would much rather a quick and easy method that erases all my data than a complicated method which keeps all my data intact.
