1. create a recovery of mountain lion install esd dmg using the latest version of carbon copy clowned or lion disk maker. make sure the flash drive you put it on is 4 gig or higher and is formatted in the GUID partition format. then use carbon copy cloner or lion disk maker to make the bootable drive.
Then after that go to the bootable drive by holding down right option at start up and choosing it. After that choose disk utility and format the internal drive. Now go to install os10 in the same console and follow the prompts. Take care.
