Lion issues after not completed update

Hi, last Lion update has been stopped before completion (low battery, blame on me 😟 ) and system starts no more.

I've tried online Lion Recovery but without success: never ending loading for authentication..

Any solution?

thanks

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

Basically speaking, you Never want to interupt an OS installation or upgrade. It sounds like you may be reduced to the option of inserting your original Installation Disk and running Disk Utilities to Reformat the harddrive, which will erase EVERYTHING on the harddrive, and then you would restore your harddrive from your last complete backup from your external harddrive. (You did make a backup before attempting to upgrade to Lion, right?) At that point you could once again download and install Lion.


Hope this helps 🙂
