Oct 18, 2015 8:24 PM in response to Marshneiderrby K Shaffer,You may be able to use the Recovery Disk Assistant -- to create a recovery disk on an external drive.
Certain older OS X versions did not automatically create a recovery partition, however to create
one out-of-turn could erase important content from your computer. There are several ideas covered
in this Support document, with links to details...

If your computer shipped with Mt Lion 10.8.x installed, the retail DVD may not work unless it is newer
than the version your computer had in it, when new. However this DVD is available for those who are
upgrading from Lion or Snow Leopard, who do not or cannot use El Capitan 10.11 in their Mac.
Good luck & happy computing!
