Deleting the recovery partition seems straightforward for older versions of OS X (e.g. This guide for Snow Leopard), but I can't figure out how to do this in Sierra. This is probably due to the switch from HFS to AppleCoreStorage as mentioned on this Make Use Of page. To use OS X's handy OS X Recovery feature, or to enable FileVault on an external drive, you need a special recovery partition on your drive. This utility can add it if the OS X installer didn't.

Sometimes, we break things. It’s unfortunate, but true. If you’ve somehow managed to delete or mangle your Recovery partition beyond recognition, there’s still hope. For versions of OS X and macOS from Lion 10.7 and up, there’s a script called Recovery Partition Creator that will non-destructively put a recovery partition back on your Mac without you having to reinstall macOS.

A Word of Warning

These steps are not for the faint of heart. You could damage your installation and have to reinstall your Mac from a backup after this. Make sure you have a very recent Time Machine backup before proceeding.

Getting Things Ready

First things first. For this script to function properly, you need the installation image of your particular version of OS X or macOS. Head to the Mac App Store, locate your installation file in the Purchases tab, and download it.

Next, if you run OS X El Capitan or later, you will need to disable a feature known as System Integrity Protection (SIP). SIP, sometimes referred to as rootless mode, is a security feature that protects certain system files and directories against modification. This needs to be disabled for the Recovery Partition Creator to work.

First, boot into Recovery or Internet Recovery Mode. You do this by restarting your Mac and holding

Now restart your Mac, and you’re ready to rock and roll.

Getting Started With the Recovery Partition Creator

If you haven’t already, download the Recovery Partition Creator here. Find it in your Downloads folder, or where ever you download files to, and run it. If you run OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion, and Gatekeeper complains, right-click the Recovery Partition Creator script and choose

If you are running OS X Lion, you might have to right-click and select Open to run Recovery Partition Creator

Recovery Partition Creator will let you know that it will check for required files and download them as necessary. Click

Next, you’ll see a warning that I already gave you earlier. If you disregarded my suggestion to make a current Time Machine backup, this is your last chance.

On the next screen, you should choose where to install the recovery partition. For most users, this will be Macintosh HD. Click on the correct location, then on

Now you’ll have an option to check your drive for errors, or skip the check. I found, on macOS Sierra 12.4, that skipping the drive check meant I didn’t get any further indication of the progress of the app. Take the time to do the disk check, for safety’s sake at least. Click

Next: Installing Your New Recovery Partition and Tidying Up

Deleting the recovery partition seems straightforward for older versions of OS X (e.g. this guide for Snow Leopard), but I can't figure out how to do this in Sierra. This is probably due to the switch from HFS to AppleCoreStorage as mentioned on this Make Use Of page. Notably, the 'Debug' panel is also gone from Disk Utility, so I took the suggestion from this thread to use the third-party Paragon software.

This is how I tried, and failed:

Back up system on Time Machine external hard drive
Download Paragon
Create a bootable recovery USB stick using Paragon Boot Media Builder
Delete 'Recovery HD' volume in Paragon's Hard Disk Manager (worked fine)
Reboot

Upon reboot I saw the flashing folder icon labeled with a question mark (and it did not go away). Thankfully I was able to boot from the recovery stick and reinstall Sierra without even having to use my Time Machine backup.

So, does anyone know how to do this properly? The Make Use Of page implies that Carbon Copy Cloner gives an option to restore the drive without including the recovery partition, but the details are not clear. Any help is greatly appreciated!
