[QUOTE="schlagi, post: 1618425, member: 336474"] If, however, you want to sell your Mac, you will need to inform the buyer that you will not be able to give him or her the original install discs (I understand you do not have them). It then depends if you just sell the Mac without a system on it, or with an aborted Lion installation. You SHOULD NOT fully install Lion, because the OS will at installation be linked to your ID (and also it would be against Apple T&Cs). So you can either start from the USB, format hard drive, shut the Mac down, and sell it empty, or - if you know the buyer has purchased Lion - begin the installation as outlined above, and at the moment the Apple ID is requested, shut down the Mac. Again, all of this is at your peril. English is not my first language, so when in doubt, please feel free to ask, or corroborate through google. [/QUOTE]
