Hi.

I just purchased a Mac Mini 2011. I added a second disc (OCZ vertex 3 SSD) with the kit from iFixit that I want to install Lion on and use as system drive.

I have done the following:
  1. Pressed CMD+R to get to Lion recovery
  2. Choosen to recover lion and choosen the SSD for destination. SSD is formated to GUID and MAC OS extended.
  3. It then download extra components from the internet
  4. After 45-60 minutes when the download is almost done, the mini reboots into current installation
  5. On the SSD is folder Mac OS X Install data, that i cannot open

What I'm I doing wrong when the installation doesn't finish?

How do i get a fresh copy of Lion installed on my SSD?

Thanks in advance.
