jbrown macrumors 6502a Original poster Jun 21, 2012 #1 I've upgraded, and want to wipe my hard drive and re-install a fresh Lion system so that it is ready for sale. Before I'd just do that and re-install the system from the discs, but I don't have any discs with Lion. How do I do it? Many thanks 🙂

From there, select Disk utilities and erase the hard drive. Exit disk utilities and then select re-install Lion. It will then down load Lion and re install it.
