How do I install Lion on a newly erased hard drive?

I used every trick on the internet including command R and bupkis. After 3 days I repaired the drive using my macpro as a Target and my iMac with Lion to do the repair. Nada. I have erased the drive completely and need to know how to install Lion. My Mac Pro is an intel based 2.56 GHz duo core. One of the older towers.

Thanks.

Mac Pro

First, you need to install Snow Leopard. Then update it to 10.6.8. Go to the App Store and sign in with the same Apple ID you used to purchase Lion. Click on the Purchase icon in the toolbar. Locate your Lion purchase entry and re-download it.
