Oct 22, 2015 12:12 PM in response to grahamfromkingstonby shogun88888888,I might mention that when going with a clean install off USB option2 to erase the disk in disk utility after booting to the USB but before the install and create a single fresh partition.
PLease ask for further instructions on disk utility if needed
there are are plenty of walk through a to do the USB install but I think it's essential that the boot,drive gets completely erased and repartitioned.

Reinstalling OS X should fix it, as would installing the 10.11 combo update (much faster) but, the combo has yet to be released. If it were me I'd wait for Apple to release the combo.
This is the best advice for you to follow!
Your recovery partition is there. It is just hidden, because the HD which you see is actually a Logical Volume and not the physical hard disk! The procedure described before, will revert your HD back to the physical parts thereof.
You can easily see the sole recovery partition by typing in the terminal diskutil list which will display then the different physical partitions and the Core Storage which have your Logical Volume (which you see as your Macintosh HD).
Have fun
