Thanks Dave.
Let me recap what I think you're telling me to be sure I'm clear. My laptop takes a dive. Something happens and now it won't boot. Let's say the hard drive failed. So now I've lost access to everything on it, including the recovery drive. I replace the hard drive and then...... I plug in the USB cable to my external hard drive and boot to my SuperDuper cloned backup. It comes up just like it would've in Snow Leopard. I do the restore from the backup to the new, blank hard drive on my laptop. I'm now up and running and the lack of a recovery partition is utterly transparent, it doesn't impact anything I can see. But to complete the process, I reinstall Lion and now I have a fresh OS and the data files I just restored remain intact. I'm good to go. Do I have it? Thanks again for your help. |
