I trashed the Lion Installer.asp and am D/Ling it now.

I'll see it's it a success.

I re downloaded Lion after trashing the original.

3.77gb in size again. This time I followed the directions for putting it on a thumb-drive that Paddy gave earlier.

I still get the checksum error when tryin to open the disk-image on the last step of the instructions? Thinking.gif

Are you grinding your teeth during the download? Perhaps you should leave the room during the download? Do you have a cat in the house. Thinking.gif
    I'm assuming that you did not need to use the option key when you started the download, is that correct?

    Remind me, again, do you have any Safari extensions installed? What version of Safari are you using?

    If you're not using Safari, what browser is it and does it have any extensions/add-ons installed?

    Are you running Lil'Snitch or some other network monitoring app?

    Is your Firewall enabled?
My final suggestion is to try a different, minimalist account and/or start up in Safe Mode. That should remove any non-Apple files during the download.

That's right. I did not.

I don't use Safari much, I like FireFox

I bought another 8 gig stick, erased and formatted it, and I still can't get the file Mac OS X Install ESD,” on my desktop. I get an error that says, The following disk images couldn't be opened:

Image:InsallESD.dmg  Reason: image ata corrupted.

I bought and paid for it.

Should I call Apple or what?

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Gary, you did format the USB stick MacOS extended, no?

Some threads on similar issues, with some suggestions to try:

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/223945...=0&tstart=0
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=916220

I'm assuming you meant "image DATA corrupted..."??

Have you had this problem with any other .dmg file you've downloaded or only this one?

Gary,

I strongly suggest you bring your computer to the Apple Store in Madison.

I know, I know, it's a 2 to 2 1/2 hour 112 miles drive. Don't forget to bring your erased and MacOS extended reformatted USB stick so that the Apple Store can give you a copy of the Lion Installer. Bring also your App Store receipt.

Image:InsallESD.dmg Reason: image data corrupted.

Spelling mistake!

Paddy,
Did format the USB stick MacOS extended,-yes.
Have you had this problem with any other .dmg file you've downloaded or only this one?-NO

JB,

My son goes to UW Wisconsin at Madison so I go down there.
In the mean time maybe my son can get a lowdown for me at their Apple store.

Thanks

I think there are actually four different OS disk formats. While I don't think it is a factor, some people have problems using the two "Case-sensitive" formats. I think the default is simply the "Journaled" format. It just so happens I made the following image as a help for someone in another forum, it explains what I'm talking about better than my 'thousand words!' laughhard.gif
