[QUOTE="gsahli, post: 1384997, member: 182015"] Please, we're not trying to trip you up here. It really sounds like you want to delete/erase the recovery partition (not correct thing to do) - instead of the normal startup partition. You do know that installing Lion puts two partitions on your Mac - a startup partition (the majority of the hard drive), AND the recovery partition (a small partition - I guess about 5 GB)?
