[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1300908, member: 46727"] You can not install Snow Leopard on a new MacBook Pro that came pre-installed with Lion. You should have asked us first or called Apple support before you attempted it. OK. Too late, let's see if we can recover.... Reboot the MBP but hold down the OPTION key as soon as you hear the POST chime. Choose to boot from your Recovery Partition. Once in recovery, select Disk Utility. Select the "Partition" tab and highlight the 4 GB partition. Press the small minus (-) button at the bottom and select apply. Make sure the entire hard drive is shown as one partition. (The Recovery partition is hidden) If it is, get out of Disk Utility and then select reinstall Lion. Make sure you are connected to the internet. Lion will be downloaded from Apple and reinstalled on your machine. Take note that if you had any data on the drive it will be lost - so make sure you backup anything you wish to keep before doing the above. [/QUOTE]
