How can I recreate the recovery partiton

[Kemical]

Is there a way to recreate the Lion recovery partition? Due to some drive swapping/imaging I deleted mine and would like to get it back.

Reinstall Lion. The Installation will see that it is missing and creates the partition.

Thanks, that worked perfectly!

I did not do a clean install but upgraded straight to lion GM. Where do I find the recovery partition?

You can't, it's hidden. If you need to recover then press "alt" on startup before the Apple logo appears.

No it is "Command" and "R"

EDIT: But I suppose Option would get you to the HDD selection screen as well.

Yes. Because thats what i do all the time when changing to Win7.

I have a Bootcamp partition, will doing this break it when the Lion installer recreates the recovery partition?
