Creating an OS X Lion Install USB AFTER Already Installing Lion ?

    Yes, yes, I had a bit of a special moment and forget to create the install disc before installing Lion.

    Since I've already installed Lion, the Lion Installer has been removed (or hidden really, really well) so I can't create an install disc. I usually have an OS X install disc with me on the road in case I need to boot my MBP from it if there are any OS problems.

    Any ideas ?

    ETA: I've tried to go and re-download the installer from the app store but it's greyed out and labelled 'installed' on both my iMac and MBP.

    Try holding option and clicking on the Purchases button at the top of the Mac App Store window. The Lion entry should change from installed to install. This does work, but it might take a few tries. Try restarting the app.
