Redownload Mountain Lion

[Vargas]

Hi everyone,

I bought Mountain Lion a while ago from the App Store and installed it over Snow Leopard. Recently, I wanted to do a clean install but when I googled it I came to the conclusion that I needed a 8GB USB stick if I wanted to do a clean install with ML. I don't have that though so I thought I just go ahead and format my mac with the Snow Leopard CD and then install ML again from my app store account.

The problem is that I simply can't install any of the apps, including ML, from my app store account again.
I tried holding down the option key while clicking Purchase and also while clicking "Download" next to the ML app, but nothing happens. I find it also weird that next to all the apps it says "Install", but only next to the ML app it says "Download".

Is there another solution I can try?

Hi and welcome,

I tried holding down the option key while clicking Purchase

Thats correct.

and also while clicking "Download" next to the ML app

But do not hold the option key down while clicking the install button.
