Huh? Which you could do before with boot.img?
A quick check with imgutil /v or /l should print out nice stuff.
Recovery has a ramdisk so /l should print a lot. (Don't bother pasting.)

And how big is that recovery_a.img?
Like I said, it should be 20 Megs coming out of 100 Meg partition.

There's something screwy going on with what's happening to that table.
I'm printing out 48 partitions here nicely.

I put up a new version (at the same old link). You can see that it's the new one because it's 114,688 bytes. The command flags have changed a bit.

Code:

edl.exe /?
--- help info for the command line ---
edl.exe /u /g
--- print GPT table ---
edl.exe /u /precovery_a rec.img /t
--- get recovery and truncate it to minimal size ~20Megs ---
edl.exe /u /precovery_a rec.img
--- get recovery and leave it at 100Megs ---
edl.exe /u /p7 rec.img
--- you can go by partition numbers too ---

Edit: Going by the number of dots on your paste for recovery, it looks to be about 22.5 Megs. Surely a savings over 100 Megs?
