Lion Recovery Disk Assistant Error On Launch

Just downloaded the Lion Recovery Disk Assistant, and upon launch, I get the error:


"The Recovery HD on this computer is damaged or not present. Recovery Disk Assistant requires a functioning Lion Recovery HD to create an external Lion Recovery."


This is a Lion install from the App Store -- no mods. What now???

3.2GHz 8-Core Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.6), 16GB RAM, 4TB Storage

Hi Guys,


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!!! :-)
