Apple has released OS X Lion as a download from the Mac App Store only;
however, you can use the download to create a separate OS installation disc
or drive partition to use for troubleshooting purposes.

Hi Hasaan,

If you mount InstallESD.dmg you'll find BaseImage.dmg at the root level. Ditto it to your Desktop and unhide it (man chflags). Now you have the necessary image for your "Restore HD" restore partition.
