    Problems installing chrome os in the usb

    Hi, don't know why, but i can't install google chrome os in the usb.

    I followed the steps of How to run/Install Google Chrome OS Flow by Hexxeh - YouTube or Download Google Chrome OS and Run it from a USB Driveand some other pages

    I format the usb with "HP USB Disk Storage Format", I downloaded and tried to install some Chrome OS versions from Chromium OS builds by Hexxeh with "win 32 disk Image" and nothing, nothing and nothing.

    I even did everything in another computer and also nothing, the same error

    After tell win 32 Disk Image to write the iso chrome os file in the usb, then the usb seems to have nothing and windows says it needs to be formatted.
    I format with win 32 disk image and it is ok, it says it has 30gb (since i tried many times, I even check if the problem was from the usb, I tried to put files and the usb works well), but when I tell win 32 disk image to write chrome os in the usb, it writes, goes to 90, 99% and says it is done. But then the USB seems to have nothing there and windows says it needs to be formatted.

    Anyone knows what is the problem? Anyone had the same problem?

    Well I don't know if this will help but I used unetbootin (in WIN XP) to get the downloaded iso onto the usb drive.
    then moved usb to #1 in computer setup bootup sequence and was able to boot (any Linux and Chromium) from usb.

    Sorry for the confusion - to clarify; I use unetbootin to get linux iso's to usb via WIN XP.

    On WIN 7 I used something called 'free iso creator' because imagewriter didn't work for me.
    it's a little tricky to use but I managed to get the Chromium .img file (from HEXXEH) onto the usb as a .iso file and then ran it as a live disk &
    subsequently did the full Chromium OS install on my laptop
