Hi,
I have a new SSD drive on the way that I'm going to replace the HDD in my MBP 13 with. I don't have an external drive enclosure or a cable. I'm thinking about swapping the drives out, then using Lion Recovery Disk Assistant to do a fresh Lion install with the help of a USB drive.
Will Lion Recovery running from a USB drive be able to format the SSD? I understand that it can repair a disk using Disk Utility, but I haven't been able to find out whether the formatting of a brand new drive is also handled.
