Ray,
No, the partition is only created when you install lion. Also, if your hard drive were to fail for whatever reason, you’d still need a physical media to install from since the partition is no longer there.

Will this work for SL? In fact, does this negate the necessity to make a startup copy to DVDE? Sincerely, The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!! Now a very proud and happy Mac user!!!

Here it is. All you have to do is when starting the Mac, hold CMD+R until it starts booting. Then, you can turn on VO and you can get to the utilities such as Disk Utility. You can even reinstall Lion this way.
