Hi Stephen, I concur that Apple are treating their user base as dumbasses these days. It's probably fair to say that there are a substantial number of them that fit that moniker! The problem is that Apple doesn't always provide a way to tell them "I'm not a dumbass and I would like to not be treated as such".
During the process of installing Lion, I too found a disk problem. In my case, it wasn't a failure per se but when I tried to create a second partition to hold Lion, DiskUtitliy flagged an error. Don't recall exactly what it was but I had to boot from my Snow Leopard disk and run DiskUtitlty from there to fix it. The weird thing was that even after fixing it, I still couldn't create the second partition. There was plenty of room on the disk for the new partition but when I kicked off the process of creating it, I got an error that there wasn't enough disk space to re-partition the drive.
