What is Apple using to hide Lion Recovery, how can I duplicate it?
After installing Lion, it includes a recovery partition (Recovery HD). This partition is visible in the startup disk screen in the EFI (booting using option), however, it doesn't show up in finder, nor does it show up in Disk Utility (unless you have the debug menu, and enable show all partitions). Obviously it doesn't automount, that's one thing, but Apple is doing something to keep it from even showing up in disk utility.
Recently I upgraded my HDD in my Macbook Pro, I cloned it and so I lost the Lion Recovery utility. I've since added it back manually, and I'd like to place it in the same condition as it is when installed along side Lion (without having to go through migration on a fresh install, etc).
Does anyone know how to duplicate this state that the Lion Recovery HD is in?
I'm not really looking for alternatives - like reinstalling, etc, etc.. I'm also interested in the mechanism being used here.
Can anyone shed light?
Thanks!
