  • What's the point? I'm mean can't you just upgrade to lion and then restore it? What a waste of time (and a DVD disc)!!!!

  • @Jdnirens This is for first time upgraders, not re-installers!

  • DON#T INSTALL THIS I DID BT THEN WINDOWS UPDATED AND MY COMUTER BROKE

  • @Sproductions703 That's because anybody with half a brain knows that this isn't for Windows computers. It's for Apple Mac's!

  • Hi. Is it possible to do a clean installation of lion on a 10.5.8 macbook white?

  • @skyhighbye Yes, although it might be slow as that is an old machine.

  • will i lose everything on my hard drive when i install lion? will everything be there?

  • Do i have to have loin on a hard rive or something, or will it have it on its own?

  • detailed and very helpful video - just a question, in the event you're using a brand new blank hard drive what procedure would you follow - would it be roughly the same

  • hahah i laughed at the snap shot you took haha, by the way nice video!

  • @shadyarmik thanks, i couldn't even erase my hard drive from its content before i tried your method, very helpful. Thumb up!!

  • @Jdnirens In my case I've got an older Macbook that's had Leopard, Leopard restored again, Snow Leopard, and then the update to Lion. So I'm going to do this to get rid of all the non-essential Leopard files etc and hopefully get things running a bit faster.

  • @shadyarmik i mean upgrade the usual way, and then just restore your mac!!!!

  • @shadyarmik Yeah, basically i just got that disk installed it and then updated it. Works like a charm, thanks man. :)
