Dave, I have used SD to copy my last Macbook Air to my new computer. Clearly I now don't have a 'Recovery Partition' Since I am not very bright on these things I occasionally copy my system as a backup to my SD 'back up drive' with 2 partitions. I alternate these.
Quote from you "When you're ready to create the recovery partition, simply download and install the OS from the App Store."
Since I have a fairly up to date back up + Time Machine what is the need to have the Recovery Partition. If I downloaded ML and installed it - the nest time I made a copy I would loose the Recovery Partition.
So do I really need Recovery Partition?
