[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1421119, member: 46727"] The proper way to reinstall Lion is to boot the machine to the Lion Recovery partition (Command + R). From the Recovery partition you can erase the drive, format it and then connect to the Apple server and re-download Lion and let it install itself. If you destroyed the Lion Recovery partition you can install Snow Leopard again and update to Lion from the Mac App store. Make sure your hard drive is OK. Use your Snow Leopard DVD to run Disk Utility and verify the drive before attempting to install Lion. From your description above, it sounds like your hard drive probably should be replaced. That could be the reason for all the slowness. [/QUOTE]
