Does anyone knows if a user can boot into Lions recovery mode when having installed OS X Lion into a parallels partition ?

Thanks in advance.
 
You have to check 'select boot device on startup' on your vm options. But you must have created the VM with the 1-click Lion VM creator, otherwise the recovery HD won't be hooked to the VM.

With this option, the boot will ask for input, so you can select the boot device.
 
yes but when you finally get INTO recovery mode, the parallels tools aren't installed, and can't be installed, so it's impossible to USE recovery mode.
 
You must log in or register to reply here.
