There were several updates affecting the recovery partition. Is there a way to create an usb memory stick containing an up to date Mountain Lion recovery partition?
1 Answer
Yes,
Download Mountain Lion again from the App Store and create a bootable USB from the new downloaded files.
Either by using Disk Utility or by using Lion Disk Maker.

This is not exactly what I wanted, but good enough. I'd like to have just a recovery partition not the entire installation.– bot47Jan 13, 2013 at 10:40

I just figured out how to do that. If you mount InstallESD.dmg you find a hidden BaseSystem.dmg which contains a recovery partition. You might want to burn this to a CD and boot from that.– bot47Jan 13, 2013 at 13:39
