[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1635926, member: 46727"] I've honestly never used Internet Recovery since I keep an installable copy of my current version of OS X on an external boot drive. However, other users have reported long installation times using Internet Recovery. Even at that, it shouldn't take that long to format and install Mountain Lion. You might want to try again. If you have another Mac, you may be better off downloading Mountain Lion to it and then use the installable file to make an installation flash drive. You would need a flash drive of at least 8 GB in size. [/QUOTE]
