Clone

Disk utility has RESTORE which will also clone your system but not the Lion Recovery partition. Oddly Apple did not 'endorse' making bootable clone of the system which works too but most choose Carbon Copy Cloner - it works more consistently; it allows for smart update of the backup volume. Both can backup to a sparse disk image if desired.

Hold down the alt/Option key as you Restart. This runs the all-in-ROM Startup Manager. It will draw an Icon for each potentially-bootable Volume.


Startup Manager: How to select a startup volume


Select "Recovery HD". This boot to a hidden Utilities/Installer partition on your Hard drive.

Run Disk Utility.

Seelct your drive by Hardware_name (e.g., 512GB Seagate)

click ( Repair Disk ).


Is the Mac OS X "Macintosh HD" shown now?

Thanks Grant! You are golden!


For anyone else trying this make sure you have your internet connected via network cable, so it can download the OS (and verify ownership.)


...yesI too wiped out my OS. Installing Bootcamp. Surprising how easy it was to do. No Windows-esque, "Are you really sure you want to do this" message. Just clicked the wrong drive and ka-BOOM!
