[QUOTE="linziluv, post: 1371627, member: 238699"] Ok, so I got a MacBook Pro for valentines day....I've always had windows so this is all new to me! When I got it the guy told me OS X Lion was installed and the HD had a windows partition that I decided I didn't want it partitioned so tried to get rid with disk utility to no avail.....anyway, long story short I've completely messed up trying to reinstall lion! The guy I got it off told me to press alt when booting to enter recovery mode....the drive seems to be empty but I can't resize or delete any partition without getting a "can't unmount disk" error no matter what I do. Also, when attempting to put a fresh copy of lion on I'm asked for apple ID and password to download lion from the app store! The guy said it shouldn't do it....but it is!! It won't boot to OS at all now. I know, I know, I should have left it alone lol but I thought how different can it be?! The lad I got it off has said to go round this evening but I want it sorting now!!! Anybody any advise??! [/QUOTE]
