[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1609579"] I think what you're saying is "my MacBook Pro booted into the recovery partition. I tried to reinstall Lion, but attempted to reinstall it from the same partition I was booted from, the Recovery partition, so that didn't work of course." Now that you've put the drive in an external case, get a new HD for your MacBookPro, install Mavericks or whatever using Internet Recovery, then use Migration Assistant to pull everything from your old drive over. If it can't read the old boot drive, just plug in your backup drive and pull from that. [/QUOTE]
