Or not that I know of. < |:(~
I'm just using the Macbook as it came out of the box, pretty much. No RAID, no Bootcamp.
Just my 2 cents here.
If I needed/wanted the HD Recovery partition, and/or the features that tag along with it (per the kb/HT4649 article), I would run Disk Utility on my existing HD and see what the heck is on it that might be screwing the Lion feature. Given "out of the box", though, it sounds to me like a call to Apple support is in order.
Or decide you don't need/want those features, or some other workaround as suggested in the article. But frankly, that seems unnecessary and bogus. It ought to just work.
Boot Camp Assistant is in the Utilities folder in your Applications.
