You may upgrade Lion only to Mountain Lion if it meets the other requirements:


Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.

1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)

2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)

Then your system is not compatible with Mountain Lion.


The data you provided about your Mac is conflicting. You claim to have a MacBook Pro, but to my knowledge only MacBooks shipped with GMA X3100 graphics sections.


Click on the Apple Menu's "About This Mac," "More Info," to properly identify your Mac.

The MacBook4,1 (13", Early 2008, Late 2008 Polycarbonate) is not capable of running Mountain Lion. Lion is the limit. The MacBook5,1 is the minimum requirement for Mountain Lion.
