Re: Guide: GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 with ATI 6870 - Clean Lion Install
i tried this and xmove wouldn't move lion to my 8gb usb stick. also ive already tried the tonymac method and i cannot get the installer partition to boot into the installation, it hangs on the apple screen with spinning wheel.
i wish we could just do a fresh install with iboot already!
i got 10.6.8 to install flawlessly but lion is a real PITA.
swalk said:To get Lion on a USB drive via xMove you need to mount InstallESD.dmg.
So if you already have a computer with Lion, it probably deleted that DMG. Here's how to get it back again:

Basically, redownload Lion from the App Store. Find the DMG and mount it (double click it). Then format a USB Drive (Mac OSX Journaled format) and run xMove.
