Understand this is pretty early, but has anyone been able to find the mountain lion recovery disk assistant software that one can download onto a USB thumb drive ?

Thanks for the reply. Just hope I don't have to do a clean reinstall of the OS anytime soon, and have to download it the old-fashioned way.

After you install Mountain Lion, you can use the Recovery Disk Assistant (in the Utilities folder) to make a bootable Mountain Lion recovery partition on a USB stick. The assistant still refers to Lion and has the Lion picture, but I have verified that it does work.

If it's not in your Utilities folder, just download this Lion version from Apple. It works with Mountain Lion too.

Do you know if it works with SD cards??
