Hi Kristeen, You can start the recovery partition by pressing command-r during power up. Wait a reasonable interval and press command-f5 to start voiceOver. At this point you can run disk utility or reinstall.
When I tried this I was unable to get to the dialog where it was presumably prompting for information such as my wireless password and Apple userid. Thankfully I had created a Lion DVD, so that was no issue. You don't have that option, but one suggestion that Chris Moore offered that I didn't need to try should work. In Lion I often can't get to system dialogs via command-escape, but the Window chooser function does effectively work around that. Good luck -- restoring everything is a fun process.

I went to the app store, but can't download it because it's already installed. What can I do to get a boot DVD for Lion? Thanks.
