The best way I've found to do this is to turn on your mac. After you hear the 
chime, hold down command+R. Hold it down for several seconds. Give it about two 
or three minutes to come up, and press command+F5, after which you will hear 
Fred's melodious tones. The rest of the recovery partition, which you have 
landed in, is very self-explanatory. Disc utility is there and it works just 
like the one in the OS does, only, this time, your "Repair permissions" will be 
undimmed. You could also boot into a Lion DVD if you made one by holding down 
the C key at start-up until you hear the disc spinning rapidly, at which point 
give it some time to come up and you can press command+F5 as before.

HTH,

James A. Dean
