Hey all.
Here is my issue. I installed a ssd on my 2009 iMac. I used my time machine backup to install Lion and my data on to the ssd. Everything works fine.
BUT, there is now no recovery partition on the ssd as the time machine backup does not recreate this partition.
Then comes the day I want to install Mountain Lion. Big problem, the install fails. I believe this is because there is no recovery partition on the ssd.
How do I fix this. I read somewhere that if one reinstalls Lion right over top of the existing Lion operating system then the recovery partition will be recreated
( and all my existing data and applications will be unaffected )
Then I can go ahead and install Mountain Lion. Can someone please confirm that this will work ??
