Hi,
After encountering problems with my mid-2007 Macbook 2,1 with Lion OS X (running slowly, applications crashing, fan over-working) I ran disk utility and discovered that the HDD had errors and DU was unable to repair.
I haven't had the Mac for long and didn't mind losing a little data so decided to erase the hard-drive.
Erase was successful and Macbook boots to the Utilities page with options to re-install, run Disk Utility etc. The disk now shows as having no problems when verified.
When I try to re-install Lion via my Apple ID, however, it fully downloads and appears to install the OS but when the progress bar completes the Macbook restarts and opens back up at the Utilities page.
I have tried resetting PRAM/NVRAM and re-erasing and formatting the disk but have encountered the same problem every time I leave it to re-install Lion.
Any advice on how to re-install Lion after these issues would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan
