Thanks for the tutorial, I'm finishing up the process now. I did a small variation, creating two 16 gb partitions on a 32 gb Corsair flash drive. One partition is FAT32 and the other is Mac GUID, where Lion is going. I'm hoping I can boot off the new Lion install. Thanks again!

@rborroto Great idea. What you said made sense so I would be very surprised if it didn't work.

what if i didn't buy it and it came installed already? cuz mine is macbook pro 15" late 2011

@R3eWildVtc Good question, I'm not actually sure what happens in that instance. I will try to find out.

actually, a 4GB is not enough. i tried with a 3.99, and it didn't work... i checked the mounted Mac OS X installed ESD and it says 4.18 GB.

@OSMacX alright, thank you.
