attempt #1: when disassembling, original hdd cable disconnected already. should have known fun in works now.

boot #1: went internet recovery install lion... works fine, no hdd available install.

attempt #2: fan , antenna plate out, realize need partition drive in disk utility.

boot #2: comes up, go disk utility... no hdd listed! ack!

attempt #3: during disassembly, find hdd cable unplugged (again). push in, reassemble , try #3...

boot #3: there disk time! yay! lion installing now.
