Hello All

I did a clean install of Mountain Lion on my 2011 MacBook Pro 13" around a month ago. I used a bootable usb that I created using Unibeast to install the operating system. To my surprise, I just realized that I have no Recovery HD partition. I was wondering why could this be the case? And how can I recreate that partition?

I appreciate any help
Adel

You'll need to download and reinstall Mountain Lion from the Mac App store. That will create the recovery partition for you. Make sure you backup everything before doing so. Evidently Unibeast does not create the recovery partition from the installer, or, it was optional and you overlooked it.
