Anyone have any idea why on every video of using CCC it offers to do a recovery volume partition before or after it's cloned, but it never came up for me. Is it important to have that, and if so any idea why it never offered that, or is that only on a paid version?
Got a tip for us?

It has always offered to make the recovery partition for me IF my source drive had a recovery partition present.
Ahhh .... there is the problem. I believe the recovery partition was introduced with Lion 10.7. Prior to that you required a CD or thumb drive.
Well spotted, that's probably why it didn't come up for me then. So there is no need to make a partition then when cloning 10.6.8 it would appear
Trying to remember now what the 3rd option was on the boot, internal, external drive and... not that then

Remind me, but when you start with the option key there was the 10.6.8 HDD the external 10.6.8 SSD and one other option to click, which I thought was the one you needed for recovery mode, and assumed that was it, but I could be completely wrong, wouldn't be the first time? So is it not there because it came with the disks?
