[QUOTE="M@Cguy, post: 1333954, member: 226111"] [b]Installing Lion with a Boot Camp Partition[/b] I have had the Lion upgrade fail and tell me it could not create a recovery partition. The only option was to revert to Snow Leopard. That was fine, but I still wanted to get this upgrade to happen. I found many things to try and also found people with the same scenario. This is what I did and was able to keep my Boot Camp partition. I ran Disk Utility and ran a repair disk permissions on the main OS partition. I then ejected the Boot Camp partition so it doesn't show and it is not mounted during the install. I just went ahead and fired up the upgrade for Lion and it went through without a hitch. I also had my Boot Camp partition when all was said and done. [/QUOTE]
