/Quote For me this worked a bit different. I installed Lion on a Firewire hard drive. The recovery partition was installed on my Snow Leopard internal disk(!). So when I turned off my Mac and rebooted with the Firewire Lion disk removed, it defaulted to the recovery partition (scary). Changing the startup disk fixed this pretty quickly but installer beware. /End Quote Cheers, Ronni Re: OSX Lion "sneak peaks" including Recovery Partition Daniel Kerr Sat, 26 Feb 2011 06:26:49 -0800 Couldn't see anything on a quick google for it,..except this comment:- "- The Recovery partition may not be created when installing Lion on a drive with an unsupported partition scheme." Dunno if that helps at all ;) Kind Regards Daniel On 26/2/11 10:03 PM, "cm" <cm200...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi Susan, > > Thanks for the heads up. All appears good, however, with the install.
