So heres an update. I tried what you said about the command option p and r. I started up the computer holding the option button with the SSD atttached to the SATA cable and it popped up in disk utility so I did an erase with the GUID Partition and then tried to download Lion through the network install and went to bed. When I woke up the download had failed saying something like additional components were not downloaded and now when I restart it the SSD isn’t showing up? Any other ideas? Thanks again for all your help.
