There’s no need to duplicate Recovery HD itself, instead you should use the official Lion Disk Maker utility from Apple which will create a portable recovery drive out of a DVD or USB Key. It’s available for download at:

We discussed the Lion Disk Tool, it’s requirements, and how to use it here:

I should be able to duplicate the “Recovery HD” partition to create a portable recovery disc right… ?

My Linux & Linux swap partitions have always been in Disk Utilty greyed out. Doing this only adds the 200mb system partition before my Lion partition.
Also neither the actual Linux or the Linux Swap partitions mount after selecting “mount” from the control click menu.

Thanks for sharing this. It works also in Snow Leopard. Note that the debug menu will be available only for users that are Administrator.
