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.
