If it works like it did when I bought the Mac Mini, you make a "recovery
disk" on an 8GB thumb drive. It doesn't have anything on it but the OS &
possibly some files needed to make the thumb drive bootable.
It won't recover your data, you have to back that up separately.
Probably best to do it before the drive gives you problems.

What the lack of an recovery disk choice means is that the operating system was cloned to

the hidden recovery partition was not created.
Thanks, Godfrey. Is this how the OS is installed on new machines? Mine was
bought a year ago last June.
