"Can't download the additional components needed to instal Mac OS X"
I'm new to the MacBook scene so I decided to start small. So I bought a perfectly good Macbook Pro from late 2011. I checked it out, it looked okay. I tried factory resetting by clearing the disks in disk utility and then I tried to reinstall Mac OS X Lion, which, I'm guessing, came with the system. I go through, agree, choose which drive to install on, and it works...momentarily.
After a few minutes or less, it tells me that it "Can;t download the additional componenets needed to install Mac OS X for no reason. So, now I'm stuck with a pretty much bricked macbook and I don't know what to do.
Regular booting just brings me to a flashing folder with a question mark, which means the macbook can't find an OS or something.
