Macbook air - Problem in boot USB

omarmonteiro · May 25, 2012

Hey Guys, good afternoon.

I have a problem on my macbook air, I'm trying to format, using a USB device that I created using the image of the lion 10.7.4, but the version of the lion of my macbook is 10.7.2. maybe that's the problem.

When I boot via usb, a circle appears scratched.

And I can not format or reinstall anything, and where I am, I do not have wifi internet.

So,

how can I solve this problem?

Thanks for the help.

(Note: Do not repair my bad English.)

you need another usb containing the Lion Disk Recovery partition on it to be able to startup and then you can install Lion to your USB stick

Note: In order to create an external Lion Recovery using the Lion Recovery Assistant, the Mac must have an existing Recovery HD.
