    How to fix my samsung chromebook?

    I wanted to try out
    windows 7 so I followed a guide that was meant for Cr-48. I have a samsung series five chromebook. Before
    I tried out windows7 though, I already had ubuntu installed. The first
    step to get windows 7 told me to download Insyde H2O BIOS. I followed the steps
    exactly here, http://cr-48.wikispaces.com/Flash+BIOS, and restarted my
    chromebook.

    Here is exactly what I did to my samsung chromebook: The following is exactly what I did to my chromebook:


    -Log in to Chrome OS and press ctrl + alt + → (→ is the forward arrow where the F2 key would normally be)

    -Type chronos and press enter
    -Type sudo su and press enter
    -Type flashrom -r backup.bin and press enter
    -Type cp backup.bin /home/chronos/user/Downloads and press enter
    -Press ctrl + alt + ← (the ← is the back arrow where the F1 key would normally be) to return to the normal Chrome OS interface
    -Go to Gmail (or whatever email you use) and compose a new message addressed to yourself
    -Select "Choose a File to attach," select the folder "File Shelf," select the file backup.bin and click "Open"
    -Send the message. Keep this message safe - you'll need it if you want to restore your Cr-48 to its original state.
    -Download the InsydeH2O BIOS for the Cr-48 here: cr48.bin.tar.gz
    -Press ctrl + alt + →
    -Type tar -xvzf /home/chronos/user/Downloads/cr48.bin.tar.gz -C /home/chronos and press enter
    -Type flashrom -w /home/chronos/cr48.bin and press enter


    an Now I keep getting the frowny face that says that the
    Chrome OS is damaged and that I need to insert a recovery disk. I can't skip
    this screen or do anything until I insert the recovery disk. I made the
    Chromebook recovery drive on three different 16 GB USBs from following the google recovery tutorial and each time
    I plug them into my chromebook and wait, my chromebook tells me that ""An unrecoverable error occured during
    recovery! Please try again or try a newer recovery image."
    My chromebook also tells me the recovery reason is
    0x03 whatever that means. Please help I don't know what to do now.
