[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1503116, member: 46727"] You should be able to reinstall Lion from the Recovery partition as long as you have an internet connection. Try this from the terminal: In the Terminal type "cd .Trash" (without the quotes). This will navigate the terminal to your Trash folder. The dot before the directory name "Trash" denotes that the folder is hidden. Hidden folders do not show up in directory listing methods (when you type "ls") and can only be accessed by using their full name. Type "mv your_file_name ../" without the quotes and replacing your_file_name with the name of the file you'd like to restore. The above example would restore the file to your home directory.
