new hdd. how do I get lion back??
have neither!
big laptop destruction, hence new hdd. no timemachine at the time š
cannot find a redownload on Apple?
How did you get Lion in the first place - it came on your machine? Or you upgraded to it from Snow Leopard?
The two methods I can think of are:
* Reinstall Snow Leopard, then go to the App store and get Lion again. It should show up under "Purchases".
* Go to the App store and download Lion on another computer. Make an install disk.

charlie,
i remember downloading it fro apple, so i assume i bought it!
however it does not show up on 'apps' ?
confused
Thank you both for trying to help.
Having tried to download using my wifes login (recommended by 'apple' on telephone and failing, trying updates, purchases as suggested and failing I gave up.
I presse the purchase button and was told immediately that I already had paid and just to continue to get re-installation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
***!!!!
Probably the least INTUITIVE bit of stuff I have come across since leaving Windows!!!!!!!!!!!
Surely a reload/reinstall/get it again (whatever) should be available on your PURCHASES LIST !!!!!!!! and simply INSTALL???????????
Why do I have to guess at BUYING to get somthing I have already purchased?????????????
Jeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzeeeeeeeeee!
Yup a bit peeeeeed ooofffffff!
Still it is only 01:05 and still rebuildingš ššš®
Thank you again
