Subject: Re: Re-installing the OS
Hello Andy,
First of all, no Macs come with boot disks anymore. That ended with the arrival
of the Appstore, much to my regret.
All Macs running Lion or later have a recovery partition which is where you go
to reinstall the system. Alternatively, you can download the OS again and make

What I do is I use lion disk maker to make a bootable usb key as they call it.
It's actually pretty easy but make sure you have the partition as a guid
partition first. I also can use CCC to do the same thing so both tools for me
work very well. The advantage is you can keep your lion or mount
Andy, when you hear the startup chime hold down command r for at most 30
seconds, might be much less on an Air though. The recovery partition
should boot up and you can start VoiceOver with command f5. The rest
should be self explanatory but if not please ask for further help.

You will need an internet connection hence wy we are suggestion making usb key
for your mb air. It will depending on your connection speed take between 2 and
6 hours to download all 4 gigs of the thing it uses to install.
Take care.

It probably can, but it will try and make you use disk utility. I really
don't' like this method as for me its way too complex. I use lion disk maker
which is a free app that can do this and does do this well.
You will need at most an 8 gig flash drive, for now. We'll see about mavrics

May I just point out that the MacBook Air doe snot have an Ethernet port. The
only kind of network interface is, therefore, WiFi and, if you possess such a
thing as a BlueTooth dongle or modem, you could do it that way. Otherwise, the
USB stick is the only way. Creating a boot image is very
Andy yes, as Apple needs to verify it's you who will be reinstalling the
Os. The Usb key sounds the way forward though as it sounds like no
connection is required since you are burning the operating system image
to a Usb key.

lol. Yeah I hope the dev will update this for when mavrics comes out. I
personally use both ccc and lion disk maker and both work. I love lion disk
maker because of the sound it makes when the usb key is done being made. In
