This will show you how to burn the downloaded osx lion to a usb flash drive so that you can do a fresh install.
- download lion from the app store.
- right click the downloaded file
- click ‘show package contents’
- go to contents > sharedsupport
- right click on the installesd.dmg
- copy it, and paste it on your desktop
How can I make one after I’ve already installed Lion and restarted?
um, check your applications folder, if its not still there then you need to download it again and go through the process… until i find a smarter way :D
You can reinstall it by going to the app store. Hold Option while you click the “purchased” tab at the top and an “install” button should reappear next to OSX Lion. That will re-download lion to the applications folder and from there you can follow the above directions.
You have to download it again if you already installed it. The install process wipes it. Just got this info from the regional mac rep.
