Mr.Mac Help Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Hi, My specs are below and I want to know how you can install Lion without having a GPT. I have MBR so I want to install Lion. However, I followed 2 guides and it gets to a point where it always reboots. Please help me. :0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DislikeYou Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 http://blog.nawcom.com/?p=812 Use this and replace with the one, on the USB stick after you restore Lion to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
