well, after logging into recovery mode, and turning on VO with Command F5
(fred voice comes up talking). in order to reinstall OSX you wipe the
partition ***not the hard drive***. Of course, as you know, you do the
partition wipe using the disk utility available in the recovery mode menu.
The partition is usually MacHD, the drive itself is something like a cryptic
series of letters and numbers. Be careful that you select the partition and
not the drive itself. Now, with the MacHD partition wiped, you select the
recovery menu item for reinstalling OSX. That's about it.
The recovery mode software is in a seperate partition from the MacHD
partition which is where OSX is installed, but it's still on the same hard
drive as MacHD. So, if you wipe the hard drive, you'll wipe out the recovery
partition along with everything else on the disk, then you're kind of
screwed.
You don't really need a thumb drive installer of ML, you can do the
reinstall just fine from recovery mode using the online installer. the thumb
drive is just in case something happens to connectivity during the install.
Be more specific with your problem and exactly what you've done thus far,
and we can be more helpful.

Subject: Recovery mode help and voiceover
Hello everyone,
I want to reformat my iMac, but when entrain recovery mode I cannot get
voiceover to run.
I have done this before, so I know what I am doing. Does anyone have any
suggestions?
I do not have an installed version of Mountain lion on a flash drive, so I
use the downloadable version upon a successful you race of my hard drive.
Thank you for any help anyone can provide.
