First, you need to buy and download the Lion installer from the Mac App Store to a machine running Snow Leopard and compatible with Lion. After the download is complete, right-click the installer and select " Show Package Contents " to display and access the files inside the installer.

Next, open the " Contents " folder and then the " SharedSupport " folder. Inside, you will see a file called " InstallESD.dmg ". This is the disk image file that we need to use. Copy " InstallESD.dmg " to another folder outside the installer (backup to the hard drive).

Open the " Utilities " folder on your Mac and run the " Disk Utility " application, select " Burn " from the " Images " option menu or you can click on the yellow and black icon in the menu bar (menu bar).
