I have multiple hard drives here, you will likely only have one showing.
When the screen comes up, you will see something similar to this: Better would be to use a wired Ethernet connection to your DSL or cable router.Ģ) When you boot to the Internet Recovery Screen, first choose Disk Utility. However, you will not be able to reinstall Mountain Lion since it will ask for the former owner's App Store ID and password.ġ) Make sure you know your router's wireless password since you will be required to have an Internet connection to reinstall OS X.
When the work screen appears, you first need to make sure the drive is completely wiped clean, or it may try to install Mountain Lion, which is what the hidden Recovery partition should be.
