asked on What is the Recovery disk and how does it work?
I see my hard disk has a recovery disk, but I can't imagine how it cam into being. My hard disk was rated at 480 GB from the maker, and I see that 480 is available, plus a recovery disk as well.
Please explain.
Thanks.

Does it use my hard disk for the recovery "partition"? Is it a partition or what it is exactly?

So, the recovery disk comes on the disk itself from the manufacturer? What kinds of settings are stored there? I have installed an OCX SSD into mY MacBook Pro and wider what the Recovery disk contains. When might I use it?

That explains why the Apple Store told me I could not buy the bootable Lion jump drive to install Lion onto buy new SSD! (at least I think that explains that :)
They said the only way was for me to bring in the PC so they could install it, which I did.
