My computer recently crashed with no backup of Time Machine. I'm having issues getting a clean install to install on my hard drive (it won't let me do a fresh install from my Boot USB disk).
I am however having more luck using a Time Machine backup from my girlfriends MacBook Pro.
Am I going to run into any ownership issues when restoring Lion from another computer its Time Machine backup?

As far as I can tell, if you use Migration Assistant (either the standalone application or during the installation of OSX) to move files from Time Machine to any computer there is no problem. I've moved users before from one computer to the other. If you copy directly from the hard drive you might run into issues, but Migration Assistant does the trick.
