Help to create Recovery HD

[moemedimrtn]

I previously had a Recovery HD partition and other partitions too for multi-boot. I have deleted those partitions and started afresh and that removed the 650MB Recovery HD partition. I would like to create a Recovery HD partition from scratch.

My partitions according to diskutil list:
1 EFI,
2. Yosemite HD,
3. windows 7,
4. windows 8.1,
5. disk0s5 (72GB, this is for ubuntu Linux)

My intention is to format disk0s5, then create Extra partition 6, for 2GB for Recovery HD partition & partition 5 will be 70GB Linux. How to create a recovery partition?

I tried installing Yosemite according to the Guide on partition 5, it deed create 650MB Recovery HD partition, however I cannot link it to Yosemite HD, partition 2, iCloud settings doesn't see it from partition 2. How can i link it to partition 2.

Have you looked into Carbon Copy Cloner? I was able to backup my drive and in the process create a Recovery HD.
