[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1639631, member: 46727"] It sounds like the hard drive failed in your 2008 iMac. Lion does not come on disk, it has to be downloaded from the Mac App Store. However, if your hard drive has failed, you need to replace that before doing anything else. If you have a current Time Machine backup you can restore your data to the new hard drive. [/QUOTE]
