Need Help

[Sdahe]

I was installing Lion and my little kid pressed the power bottom while installation. Now I cant get the computer to start again. I have a boot usb with Lion in it and is not even working when booting from it...

What can I do?

What happens when you boot? White screen?

It comes out like if it will install and then I cant do anything else

Right now I tried to boot from the USB drive and its stuck in the Apple logo

You might have to format the drive and try again. If the Lion install did not complete, it's likely the OS is corrupt and theres no way to fix it. That's my suggestion, but if you don't back up wait for others to chime in with their opinion.

How can I format the disk?

How can I format the disk?

Hold C while booting.

Hold C while booting.

And thats all?

And thats all?

That will bring you to disc utility. Then google a guide to format a drive in Mac OS extended journaled. After thats done, you can try the lion recovery drive again.
