[QUOTE="Barbara Jay, post: 1454634, member: 188741"] Thank you very much!! I have an external HD that backs up with Time Machine . [B]Doug b[/B] You said I will be restarting the computer holding down the alt/option key. Is that how I will install MT. Lion on my Macintosh HD too.? I thought I had to two this is two operations. Download Mt. Lion and install it on my Macintosh HD. Then go back to the App Store and re-download Mt. Lion to make the bootable copy. Now I need to buy a USB thumb drive. The article recommends an 8GB flash/thumb drive so it is large enough. Which brand of USB thumb drive do you recommend or all of them nearly alike? Thanks to both of you for taking the time to review all the things I found and answer my questions !! Barbara [/QUOTE]
