Create boot up disk of OS X Lion

First have an Operating system of X lion (you may download one in a mac store but if you have it already don’t download it anymore)

After downloading or having the file already right click it and click on show package contents 

 

And go to contents > shared support and click on the "installESD.dmg" copy this file on your preferred location maybe desktop? And then burn the image file (you should have a blank disc for this one most preferable a blank dvd) after burning the file you will now have a boot up disk for your mac os x lion.

Create boot up disk of OS X Lion

Hi  Alonzo Smith,

There Mac OS x lion is available in the app store right now.

1. After you finished downloading it and its components it will tell you to install but do not do it ,

2. Just quit the app store.

3. Search and find the applications folder and there you can see the Mac OS X lion and its components.

 4. Locate installESD.dmg and then open your disk utility on the PC  and put this dmg file into it and follow the steps to successfully create the boot disk with Mac OS x lion . 
Burn the disc and hence you got your boot disk .
