Finally, I would really love to be able to do this all cost-free, as I have already purchased the Lion, and dont feel like buying a disc for it again. And no, I don't have access to ANY Macs to format the SSD. robg adds: You can find these new features on the Restore tab in Disk Utility I haven't tried it yet. Boot from the Panther install CD and restore from a. dmg of your hard drive and then restore that image onto a lab full of Macs. IMPORTANT: No, I don't have ANY install discs, the only one I had, for Snow Leopard, is gone. Make a bootable clone of your hard drive before installing new software. If there is some way to format an SSD so that it will work with a MacBook Pro, that would be great.on a PC I have no idea how to format my SSD, let alone without a Mac. ![]() I bought Lion, and I'm hoping that there is a way to download this and put it on a USB, then boot my computer from it. So, I was wondering if there was any possible way to make a bootable USB or disk without having acsess to a Mac, or having to buy a disc. No idea where it went, I just don't have it. Now, most people can just put in their install disk and voila! But, I, sadly, do not have my install disk. Luckily, I had started backup up a month ago, and all my data is safe on my external hard drive, but this is only a time machine backup. After I got over the initial shock, I googled "hard drive replacement" after searching for a while, I noticed most sites just showed how to UPGRADE your hard drive, cloning it and all. It has worked minutes ago, then my brother gets off, I open it up,and the hard drive has failed. Tried rebooting, grey screen, strange clicking noise like most people with hard drive failure. I instantly knew there was something wrong with my hard drive. The Sykpe signin page said "Disc I/O error" or something like that. It looked fine, untill I took a second look and I heard a strange clicking noise coming from my computer. Hello, just yesterday I opened up my MBP 13" Mid-2010 running 10.7.(4/5) (Not sure which it is, but I think it is 10.7.5) and the first thing I saw was Skype tring to sign in. ![]() I need a way to install Lion on a new SSD without an install disc, and how to format it without a Mac.
