Lion Recovery Disk Assistant is a free download for all Macs running OS X Lion. Note the recovery disk created does not contain all of the Lion installer files - these are automatically downloaded from the Internet when the "Reinstall Mac OS X" option is selected.
One of the big changes ushered in by Apple with OS X Lion was the form of. These Macs have recovery procedures built-in that don't require the presence of the original hard disk to run, but can be hobbled by a rare set of circumstances whereby the new hard drive has already been partitioned in a format not recognized by OS X. Apples Lion Recovery Disk Assistant lets OS X Lion users create their own recovery disk - or rather, recovery USB drive. When prompted, select "Recovery HD" to go to the recovery screen, complete with the same options you'll get from the hidden partition on your hard drive.Īlthough designed specifically for those upgrading to Lion, the recovery disk utility can be used by those who purchased a new Mac with Lion pre-installed. Once completed, you can test your disk immediately: restart your Mac with the drive plugged in, holding down the key. Enter your user password and the utility will do the rest. With your USB disk plugged in, select it (or the specific partition you created) and click "Continue".
The assistant is simple to use: once downloaded, open the DMG image and double-click the file inside to launch the tool.
