Tried to upgrade from 10.7.4 on relatively new MBP. It appears that Mountain Lion successfully downloaded from App Store. However, ML will not install to the hard drive because "This disk cannot be used to startup your computer". Thanks for advice.
Try going through the steps described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3926.

Mountain lion will not install because time machine uses hard drive for back up. What should I do?
I have downloaded Mountain Lion but it will not allow me to install because the time machine uses the hard drive to back up. How do I solve this problem?
Unless you are trying to install on an external hard drive that actually has been used for Time Machine backups, this is usually caused by having a folder named "Backups.backupd" on your hard drive somewhere. It may be at the root level of the hard drive, but may also be elsewhere. Try searching for it, and then delete it. (You shouldn't need it.)

HT201316 Mountain lion will not install and sends me to support/no-recovery
I can't load Mountain Lion since it doesn't support recovery any way around this glitch
Hi,
I had the same problem, unable to install Mountain Lion due to recovery problem. After a long investigation I found out that my Recovery HD partition was only 613.6MB and it should appearently be 650MB !
--- BEFORE ---
$ diskutil list
/dev/disk0
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *120.0 GB disk0
1: EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1
2: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD 119.1 GB disk0s2
3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 613.6 MB disk0s3
What I did to solve this was to delete the Recovery HD partition using the following steps:
* In terminal window write the following: defaults write com.apple.DiskUtility DUDebugMenuEnabled 1
* Go to Disk Utility where you now should have debug menu. Select the option to show all paritions.
* Delete your Recovery HD partition.
* Make sure that you have at least 650MB free on your OSX drive. If not decrease the size of your OSX partition.
* Install Mountain Lion and it will then automatically create a new Recovery HD partition.

S.M.A.R.T. error and Mountain Lion will not install
I downloaded Mountain Lion so I could use the iCloud with my iTunes for other devices and it says that there is a S.M.A.R.T. error on my hard drive and it cannot be installed. What can I do to fix this?
Hi, I too had the exact same thing happen. I called support on the phone and they suggested I bring my computer into the store. I took it in and the employee determined that the hard drive was failing and I was the third person that day with the same issue. Luckily, it is under warranty but they had to replace the hard drive. I still haven't gotten my computer back because they didn't have the parts. My advice - BACK UP NOW!

The Mountain Lion Won't Install On My 2010 MacBook Pro
After I downloaded the Mountain Lion; it won't install because it says my hard drive is on a back up drive for the time machine. I've never used Time Machine and I only have one hard drive. I wasn't able to locate a backup file for time machine. Any suggestions on how to resolve this?
OS X- Cannot install on a volume used by Time Machine for backups
-
After downloading ,completing the lic agreement phase, the next step is where to install and automatically' MAC HD with 904 gb available this disk is used for time machine backups' is shown and installation is blocked .
Any body got any idea what to do next ?Time machine needs its own partition to operate. So you are not going install a OSx Lion on that volume.
If there is enough room you may be able to partition the drive on the fly with DiskUtility
Are you saying you clean installed Lion and you are trying to move your user Data over with TM via the migration Assistant? Please explain. -
Mail created w/ mountain Lion will not open in SL10.6.8, or OS X yosemite.
Mail created w/ mountain Lion will not open in SL10.6.8, or OS X yosemite. How can I convert it to open?
After a second call to AppleCare, they had advised me differently than before. Once they found out that my personal computer has Mac OS X Lion installed from the App Store, they suggested I simply upgrade my parents computer to Lion.
So, I used my download from the App Store and upgraded. It went smoothly, but Mail still will not open properly. And instead of the original error message, it comes up with this:
"Check with your developer to make sure Mail can work with your version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Check if there are any updates available for the application."
How can I re-install just Mail? A startup disk is not accessible for me right now. Can I download the latest version of Mail and install it from the Apple.com website? -
I installed Snow Leopard, upgraded it to OS X 10.6.8, paid for and spent the hours necessary to download Lion, but Lion will not install. Even though it says the requirements are 10.6.6 or greater, when I try to install, I get a message saying I need 10.7. to install Lion. What should I do?
Hi..
Make sure your Mac meets Lion's requirements.
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OSX v10.6.6 or later (V10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available spare
From here > Apple - OS X Lion - Technical specifications
If your Mac meets the requirements, installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo reinstalls the App Store for you which may help.
Restart your Mac after instaling the combo installed. It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8.
If you have anti virus software installed, you may need to disable that in order to install Lion. -
Mountain Lion will not download to my iMac, "The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed."
I have this problem also. I was able to download Mountain Lion to my daughter's Mac Mini without any trouble. However, I can't download this to my MacBook Pro. I have read other sites that suggest VirusBarrier is the problem and recommend turning it off in VirusBarrier>Preferences>Advanced. I have tried this and it still doesn't work, although some report that it has worked for them.
