[QUOTE="Trolle, post: 1314116, member: 86801"] It's not that I don't want to boot from the USB. The USB has my Lion OS, which I don't want on the MBP when I sell it. If my Lion OS download was machine-associated I would just install Lion and give the USB to the new owner. But the Lion OS download is Apple ID-specific (see [URL="http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/os-x-operating-system/250484-selling-mbp-what-about-lion-usb-i-made.html"]here[/URL]). If was just doing an OS restore I would just boot from the USB and then reinstall my data from Time Machine. But I am going to leave the MBP with OS X in a dark corner waiting for a new owner.
