Hi Guys,
I am facing a problem with reinstall Mountain lion at My MBP.
When the installation almost done it show me a message: CAN'T DOWNLOAD ADDITIONAL COMPONENTS NEED TO INSTALL THE OSX. Do u have any solution?

How are you trying to reinstall it? Internet recovery? Recovery partition? USB recovery?

Perhaps worth a try to create an Installer following the steps in the linked reply from this thread:

Is that how you created your "thumb" drive? (dumb drive?)

If your laptop is new enough, you should be able to use Internet recovery. Just hold down "command+ r" when you're booting and it should allow you to download the OS via the Internet. I'd plug it into Ethernet in order to avoid any issues with WiFi.
