[QUOTE="jnc007, post: 1420865, member: 30524"] My mbp of 4 years had been dragging over the last year since I upgraded to lion. I'd read a fresh reload could possibly fix it. I backed everything up and got some advice that said all I needed to do was go to the disk utility erase the HD do a verify disk check and then have it reload. I did all of the above and now I'm stuck. I've tried reloading lion twice using wifi and letting it sit for 4 hours each. Then I tried plugging it directly into the ethernet and let it sit for 8 hours. All three times I'm met with the spinning wheel and it hanging at "loading installion information" and no indicator if its working or what might be wrong. I've erased my hard drive, I've verified the HD is still good but now I'm not sure what's left to do or what I'm not doing. In the DU filed I have 160gb fujitsu hd, below that lists the name of my partition, below that is the super drive (but its greyed out) then below all of that under a line there's a Disk 1 and under that is the max os x base. I'm assuming that's the lion boot information. I attempted to wipe out the partition and reload that but It wouldn't let me. I'm stuck! Can some one please point me int he right direction? Thanks Josh [/QUOTE]
