OS X Lion creates a recovery partition in your system that can be used to restore everything in case of a crash. However, what happens if the recovery partition itself gets corrupted for whatever reason? With Apple's Lion Recovery Disk Assistant, you can make an external recovery disk for the OS as a backup. Download the app from the MAC OS section of http://support.apple.com/downloads. Once installed, plug in a USB drive to your system (at least 1GB free required), launch the LION Recovery Disk Assistant and follow the on-screen instructions. Once the process is complete, the new partition is made. Note that the recovery option can only be used by restarting the machine and selecting the drive in the boot menu that comes up when you keep the 'option' key pressed during boot up.
