Hi
I've replaced the drive in my 2011 mini with an SSD, and was planning on using Lion online recovery to reload it.
Can I do this with a pc keyboard? I did some checks and it looks like I have to hold down apple key+R which translates to windows key+R I think?
But it doesn't recognise anything and puts up a white screen and then a grey folder with a flashing '?' in it.
Does this mean it hasn't recognised the windows+R on boot? Do I have to replace the drive with the original and start it up and pair the bluetooth apple keyboard to get it to recognise the request to start Lion recovery using apple_key+R - or something else?
Sorry if these are dumb questions, it's my first mac.
Thanks for any help,
Far
