Corrupt Recovery Drive.

I believe my recovery drive is corrupt, which is stopping me from upgrading to ML.

When trying to boot into the recovery drive it loads to OS X Installer and wont do anything else and the installer does nothing apart from load.

When trying to install ML it says there is a problem with the recovery drive, it continues untill the last couple of minutes of the install in which it fails and reverts back to LIon.

Can some one help me fix this problem?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4), 13-inch, Early 2011, 2.3 GHz Intel

Thank you for your reply.

I am currently running 10.7.5, do you know if this will still work? everything on there relates to 7.2.

Would ask on coments section but no one has replied to them in a while...

Yes it will work. The Recovery HD does not need to be updated to the current build of Lion. All it needs to do is to log on, into, the Apple servers to redownload the current version of Lion.

If it wouldn't work I would not of posted a Link to it. What you think I'd give you false info?
