The installation failed with a message stated something about "no recovery" and a link to Apple site with Recovery update. I downloaded the update, but it could not run. Currently, my system is not at the state it was before I started the whole thing. For example, Safari, Disk Utilities, Startup http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/98150/mac-os-x-lion-to-mountain-lion-upgrade-failed-no-recovery Disk, Security (firewall setting tool), etc. could not start. Also, I used to connect to a NAS smb drive, but it does not show up now. Some other third party apps still work fine, Firefox, etc. Apparently the upgrade process did not do a rollback when it failed. So, what are my options? Edit: I found this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718 that shows you how to fix this. But it requires the use of Disk Utilities to create an external recovery partition but my Disk Utilities currently would not run. macos lion mountain-lion upgrade recovery share|improve this question edited Aug 6 '13 at 23:47 asked Aug 6 '13 at 22:22 user523234 1115 So what state are you in, what OS, why did the recovery did not work, what was the message or error, what hardware do you have, please provide information to enable someone to give you a answer.

Hopefully it will help someone out who has the same problem I had. I at first could not install Lion on my iMac as the installer told me (and I forget the exact wording of the error message, I’m sorry) that Lion could not be installed as no recovery partition could be made. This would be, I believe, what is now the infamous no recovery scenario, detailed at http://www.apple.com/support/no-recovery. That page, however, while it does say that Lion can be installed without the recovery partition, does not detail how to continue the installation. I was not given an option to continue installation without a recovery partition; I was only given the option to restart into my previous Snow Leopard setup. So, after much searching on this forum (so if this is a redundant post and the solution is here, then I guess I didn’t search hard enough) and the Internet and worry that I just spent money on an upgrade that I couldn’t do, I came across this solution: I created an extra partition on my Mac OS X HD. Simple and easy. I don’t know the exact magic number for the size of partition needed, but I remembered seeing the size 60GB somewhere out there, and that is what I used. I created a 60GB partition from my OS X drive and then ran the Lion installer again. That worked, and I am now running Lion on my iMac. If anyone else is having the same problem I had and can’t find the answer elsewhere, I hope this post hel
