I have a MBA running Lion. I'd like to erase it, and convert it to be my wife's machine, importing everything from her old MB.
I know there's (often) a recovery partition. If I can find it, can I re-initialise the machine from that, importing the date from the old MB? I guess that has to be done by usb, so it'll be a little protracted! Thanks for any suggestions and/or pointers!
