How to install Mac OS Lion in a Macbook Pro 2.33Ghz 2Gb ram HD with Tiger?

The complete specs of the machine:

I am using the Mac Os Tiger (the same that came with the machine) in dual boot with Windows XP (boot camp).

I have had a lot of problems using Windows XP (yes, it has not support anymore).

So, I decided to install Windows 7 in my Macbook Pro.
After I had searched in google I could see it is possible to install Win 7 using Snow Leopard or Lion.

--
I DO NOT WANT TO UPDATE TO SNOW LEOPARD and then to LION.

I'd like to install LION direct.

I do not mind to format everything. Like a 'new machine'.

Is it possible?
If yes, how?

You can try to buy Lion off the online store then download it and create a USB installer, but I'm not sure it will work if you're still on 10.4:

General requirements

• Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
• 2GB of memory
• OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
• 7GB of available space
• Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
• Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.

Yes, @Mr_Brightside_@

I read it could be possible. But I do not remember where I read it and how it can be done.

Basically I had to format the partitions using Lion. But I do not know if the sequence (Tiger > Snow L. > Lion) had something about drivers.


I could see an option to run Win 7 alone, but I haven't tested it yet.

There are two others threads here, too:

I could read they are not EASY. There are a lot of steps and the authors did not create to Macbook Pro 2.33 (2006).


At this time I want to format everything and install Lion + Win 7 (using boot camp).


Maybe others members could have ideas. Let's wait.

Tks!

Not supported.

@OP a clean install should do it.

Yes, it supports (see) 3Gb ram.

About the install, I will take a pendrive with 8 Gb and take a try.
I imagine I could use DVD direct. Hehehehe.

I format the disk and make a clean install of the Lion.

Now I will try to install Win 7.

At least now we know that is possible to install Mac Os Lion direct.
