Good luck! That does sound very similar to my experience so I hope it works out, since I managed to muddle through (I can tell because i have Yosemite running now, so something must have worked)

Restore is down, I am back up and running 10.7.5. I just ran a verify disk on the HD and now it shows no issues, so I guess I can try again.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Just FYI: I got a HP Stream this Xmas, through the extreme generosity of a person (not a Bufffista or relative), because both my old laptops died, and I couldn't work.
I recommend it highly. (I got the pink one, and it makes me happy every time I look at it.) It's about $199 and has Office 365, and works like a dream. Lots of memory in the hard drive and 1 TB of cloud memory, and the keyboard for such a small laptop is stellar.
I adore it.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Anyone need a 10.6.8 (Snow Lion) disk? I have a spare. Family didn't communicate well...
Due to a strange occurrence, yes. Do you actually have one still, sarameg? I realize your post was weeks ago.
Nephlet is now 18 and got his old computer back. But we age-restricted that thing like crazy and no one knows the password.

Si monumentum requiris, circumspice.
Can't help myself:
There's Snow Leopard and there's Mountain Lion but there's no "Snow Lion".
