Lion Recovery disappeared after creating new partition

Hey there-
Today I created a new partition on my MacBook Pro hard drive in order to install a separate Snow Leopard partition on my machine... Prior to creating this partition, I had my regular Mac HD partition, Lion Recovery, and a BootCamp partition to choose from when booting up. After creating the new partition, I was able to install Snow Leopard on it without a hitch, but now when I reboot and hold the 'option' key to choose the boot source, only the Mac partition, Snow leopard partion, and BootCamp partition show up... Where did Recovery HD go? Is it still on my machine somewhere?
Thanks!

Well like I said, I already have file redundancy with my two computers and if the whole thing dies, I'll just do it all over again... I'm not too worried about that. But yeah, probably a good idea to keep a copy of the installer. I did download it overnight but by then my problem was already resolved, haha. *puts it in safe keeping*
I really only cared for Recovery HD for two things: Find my Mac (it's needed to boot into Guest only mode) and to do file system repairs in Disk Utility if necessary.
When I get a bigger capacity hard drive one day, maybe I'll clone the whole setup but for now I really only wanted that partition back for the two things I mentioned above.
But again, I still insist that the method in the link is a much faster way, step 1 being almost unnecessary.
The 10.7.2 update even includes this exact process in the background to replace the old Recovery partition with its newer version.

  • After creating new partition with iPartition, on a nonbootdrive, I can no longer see any files stored on that drive.

    I have a Hitachi disk that I use for media (photos, videos, etc..)
    After using Ipartition to create a new partition on this disk, none of the files are visible any more.
    The disk was never partiton before so this was the first partition created.
    When I launch iPartition again, I notice that I now have a Microsoft FAT or NTFS type partion and a HFS partiton however there is no data at all under Finder.
    What should I do to recover my files ?

    you don't need 3rd party to shrink and create a 2nd partition.
    One partition is still partition, and there are others like Lion Recovery, GUID, EFI on there.
    Repair the drive and make sure iPartition does what you want and current. Or just use DU instead.
    And backup.

  • Repairing Boot Camp after creating new partition

    I'm running OS X 10.8 and Windows 7 x64 Pro.
    After properly setting up Boot Camp to dual-boot Windows on my Mac mini, I decided to test whether or not it was true that creating another partition (a data partition for OS X) would interfere with Boot Camp.  Wikipedia claims it does interfere but without citing a source, whilst the Boot Camp documentation itself only specifies that the disk must be a single partition _prior_ to setup - there's no mention of whether the disk must be _kept_ that way afterwards.
    I opened Disk Utility, reduced the size of my OS X parition from 420GB to 80GB, and created a new partition in the unallocated space.  Here's how it looks now:
    When I attempted to proceed with the process, I did receive a warning that doing this (and I quote), "may" cause problems with Boot Camp.  Seeing as it was inconclusive, I thought I'd give it a shot - nothing ventured…
    Of course, it borked Boot Camp, otherwise I wouldn't be posting here.  Whilst OS X boots just fine, the Boot Camp partition now no longer shows up in the Startup Manager, though it does in the Startup Disk prefPane.  If I do attempt to boot into Boot Camp, I receive the following message on a black screen:
    No bootable device --- insert boot disk and press any key
    The advice given to someone who had this same problem was, "fix your damaged Boot Camp volume."  But I'm at a loss as to how to do that.
    So, anyone know how to proceed now so that I can keep my partitions as is, whilst fully restoring normal Boot Camp functionality?

    Hi,
    @Christopher Murphy:
    Okay, you seem confident.  Let's give this a shot.  I use the command-line myself for the odd thing, so I'll try not to bail.

  • Lost Windows 7 boot option after creating new partition

    First of all im new to Mac os.
    i have installed windows 7 using boot camp and after it i tried to create a new partition from the main mac partition and it was created successfullly however now the windows 7 boot option is not available for some reason.
    how can i have this option back?

    You broke it by adding the extra partition, remove Boot Camp (read the directions as to how) and start again. Do not add partitions next time.
    Do not use Disk Utility to remove the Boot Camp Partition, use it to remove any extra partitions.
    Backup your machine now.

  • Repairing bootcamp after creating new partition

    Like others who have posted here, I had two partitions, MacOS and Bootcamp that worked just fine.  I then added a new partition because I need a "D" drive in Windows configuration to be able to install a particular set of programs that rely on such a configuration (long story and perhaps there was a better way).  Once I added the new NTFS partition and rebooted, I no longer see the Windows drive as a a boot option.  I don't know if the command line "sugo" utility and syntax  that I've seen in postings here applies to all such situations but if anyone can guide me through it I would be very grateful.  Thanks

    No worries.  Here you go.  I'm glad you can interpret this stuff.

  • Recovery HD gone after creating new partition (to install Snow)

    Hey all,
    So I needed to reinstall Snow Leopard on my Macbook Pro, so in Disk Utility I shrunk the main partition by about 20gb and then installed Snow Leopard on that partition, so now I can dual-boot Lion and Snow Leopard.
    But now the Recovery HD partition is gone. Is this normal and any way to get it back?

    Well like I said, I already have file redundancy with my two computers and if the whole thing dies, I'll just do it all over again... I'm not too worried about that. But yeah, probably a good idea to keep a copy of the installer. I did download it overnight but by then my problem was already resolved, haha. *puts it in safe keeping*

  • Problem in Creating New partition in Pavilion dm4 1217TX

    I have a hp Pavilion dm4 1217TX model laptop. I want to partition the hard disk (640GB) to separate the OS to the data. I think this is a very basic safety feature that will save my data in case of Windows failure (which is a very common problem). I have already split the C Drive and the new condition of my hard drive is
    System           199 MB       Primary
    C                        70 GB       Primary
    Unallocated   494 GB       Logical
    Recovery           32 GB       Primary
    HP Tools        103  MB      Primary
    Now I can't create partition in the Unallocated space because of 4 Primary Partition it already has. Now what can I do ? I can't understand that why it comes with four Primary Partition and without any Extended partition.

    Hi, there, I have the same problem with you, because of the OEM of the laptop, they have partitioned our hard drive in advanced, however this partition is not logical. As we know, when we install Windows7, the system partition and system reserved partition are set as primary partition without doubt, but how could they make the HP tools and other partition as primary partitino too. I'm very unhappy with this. I don't know WHAT are they thinking about. Every one who has a bit comptuer knowloage knows the rules of createing new partitions in Windows.  In my situation, I could only copy the data on recovery to C drive, then delete it. and recreate logical partition, then copy it back. Hope this could also help you.

    aperture 3.2.4, macbookpro lion: image disappears after loading from any project; repairing everything on starting app doesn't fix it. Only restarting the computer works. Any help, please? ... in non-technical language please. Thanks

    “Hi Kirby, thanks a lot for your answer.
    I got one answer, from DMoore, saying:
    “Try Safe boot and then restart with only Aperture open.  Still doent work write back with more details like Ram, HD capacity/free space.  Are these thumbnails or Previews? Have you turned off building previews in AP preferances?
    Safe boot   http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564
    Starting up into Safe Mode does several things:
    1  It forces a directory check of the startup volume.
    2  It loads only required kernel extensions (some of the items in /System/Library/Extensions).
    3  In Mac OS X v10.3.9 or earlier, Safe Mode runs only Apple-installed startup items (such items may be installed either in /Library/StartupItems or in /System/Library/StartupItems; these are different than user-selected account login items).
    4  It disables all fonts other than those in /System/Library/Fonts (Mac OS X v10.4 or later).
    5  It moves to the Trash all font caches normally stored in /Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS/(uid)/ , where (uid) is a user ID number such as 501 (Mac OS X v10.4 or later).
    6  It disables all startup items and login items (Mac OS X v10.4 or later).
    7  Mac OS X v10.5.6 or later: A Safe Boot deletes the dynamic loader shared cache at (/var/db/dyld/). A cache with issues may cause a blue screen on startup, particularly after a Software Update. Restarting normally recreates this cache.”
    As I don’t know much about the technical aspects of computers, I don’t really understand the first answer, and it sounds like following it might produce unwanted changes.
    But I understand your questions, so I’ll try to answer them;
    "loading from any Project" means that I encounter the problem when I’m using a project, possibly after/because I’ve left the Mac on overnight, and/or  I’ve made a lot of adjustments, and, once the problem is there, it happens in any other project which I open – the images load then disappear.
    I can see images in the Browser, so it only happens in the Viewer(s).
    I’m afraid I don’t understand what you mean by: “If you select "Photos" from near the top of the Library tab of the Inspector, does it show you all of your Images?”. I am a newcomer to Aperture, so I don’t know what some of the buttons are for yet, but when I want to look at and adjust my pictures, I import them, as referenced images, then Aperture creates a folder/project in the Library. When I click on that Project (when it’s working properly), all the images appear in the Browser or the Viewers  – without me needing to “select Photos from near the top of the Library tab of the Inspector”. I selected it and looked at all the items in the dropdown menu, but none of them seems to offer the option to ‘show all the images’. So I’m not sure how to answer your question except to say that – yes, I can see all the pictures in the Browser or the Viewers (when it’s working properly), but I don’t seem to need to use the Photos button to achieve this.
    Did Aperture work before?
    Yes it worked ok for a while, but I only purchased it on 24th May.
    If I understand correctly, the difference between thumbnail and preview is that the thumbnail is what I see when the “Loading” wheel is turning, and the disappearance of this wheel after a few seconds means that I am now looking at the preview (also, the thumbnail cannot be adjusted).
    So I think the problem occurs when the thumbnail has finished loading; the viewer going blank/grey might mean that it is not showing the preview.
    But I have not changed the default Preview settings in Aperture Preferences.
    My macbookpro details:
    2.7 Ghz Intel Core i7
    Memory: 8 Gb 1333 MHz DDR3
    Hard Drive capacity 499.25 GB
    Available 387.36 GB
    I have noticed another problem: I cannot apply the same rating to multiple images: following the instructions, I select a group of contiguous (or non- contiguous) images, choose a selection eg “5stars” using the keyboard, but the stars only appear in the last selected image – even though all the images are still showing as selected.”
    I hope this helps you to understand more.
    Thank you for trying to help me.

    Hello Kaj_R.
    If you change the volumes it is quite likely that the recovery partition will not function.  I suggest you create a set of Recovery Media before messing with the partitions.
    This document can help you create the recovery media.
    Have a great day!

  • Can't create new partition

    Hello.
    I have a problem. I want to install WinXP via BootCamp and can't create new partition for it.
    BootCamp Assistant crashes during partitioning (kernel panic), and when I use Leopard installation disk and try to create new partition in Disk Utility on DVD, it returns an error "No space left on device".
    I repaired my hard disk many times (all errors were repaired) and still no improvement.
    I don't want to format my disk to zero, because I don't use Time Machine and it would be really difficult to restore all the data.
    Thank you in advance.

    Use Disk Utility Restore to copy your internal drive to an external USB/FW drive. Then reformat.

  • New Virtual hard disk wizard hangs after creating new vhd from huper-v manager on windows 7

    New Virtual hard disk wizard hangs after creating new vhd from huper-v manager on windows 7 workstation. 
    Windows 2008r2 hosts the hyper-v server. I can create VMs and VHD's when connecting to the server locally with the hyper-v manager. 
    The issue arises when I try to connect to the hyper-v server from my workstation which runs windows 7. 
    I have installed  The Windows6.1-KB958830-x64-RefreshPkg.msu that was suggested for windows 7 sp1. 
    I can connect to the hyper-v server, create vm's but  I cannot create vhd's  the gui just hangs with no errors in event log or on screen. 
    The files are there on the hyper-v hard drive but i suspect they are just created by windows as they are written and are not valid. 

    I've had just the same solution. Both did Hang Fixed size and flexible.
    Two parts were taken:
    1 - KB939820 for Windows 2003 server based domain controllers
    2 - disable using IPv6 on your NIC
    Result - both types of VHD's are created normaly.
    -----Infrastructure----
    Windows 2003 Domain upgtraded to 2008R2
    Windows Server 2008R2 Hyper-V - virtualisation clustered
    Windows 7 Pro - Hyper-V management

    You can not create another partition on a drive containing a Boot Camp partition. You now need to erase then format your drive. Reinstall OSX then reuse Boot Camp Assistant to create a new Boot Camp partition. Reinstall Windows. Ensure you copy off all your data before erasing and formatting the drive.
