I got a used MacBook air from a friend. She wiped everything clean on it but then it booted up to the white circle with a line. I then booted it up and pressed the command R and tried to reinstall Lion from the drop down menu, when asked what disk I wanted to install it there were no options. What needs to happen now?

Mount the Hard Drive in Disk Utilities:
While booted into Recovery Mode, go to Disk Utility> tap the Hard Drive, then tap the Mount button. See if you can then install it. If it is already mounted, then unmount it and then remount it. See where you can go from there.
Also...
You Could: Purchase a DVD of Lion (Found on eBay or something). Install off of that.
