Q: Lion Recovery Disk Assistant Error On Launch
-
Jan 30, 2012 6:55 AMby ashtangiman,I was able to make the recovery drive, but only by using disk utility. First set the debug flag so you can see the debug menu in disk utilities ... You can find how to do that in one of the threads that discusses this problem. Once you have that you can go to the debug menu and choose show all partitions. My recovery partition then showed up. I was then able to use restore in disk utilities to copy that partition to my thumb drive. I successfully booted from the thumb drive into the recovery console after that. Note that you can mount the recovery partition in disk utilities but to do the restore it cannot be mounted.

I have done tons of reaserch, trial and error, you name it.
And finally, after restarting my search as of today, I came across this link.
Is your Recovery HD on the original Lion HDD (not an external one):
-missing?
-not working?
-not even created?
-damaged?
In less than a min, with a few copy pastes into the Terminal you can:
- fix it
- create one
- even recreate one.
The author (rtrouton) is a genius!!! :-)
