Could be right. However, I no longer have the Lion install file. Can I assume that I can get it back?
OF course, I do have that disk thingie that let's you put lion on to a USB drive and do the clean install from there. Recovery disk I believe it's called. Anybody did a clean install off that/ IF so, how did it go; and, was it just the same as doing it off the DVD? Sincerely, The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!! Now a very proud and happy Mac user!!!
