| 1473880 | 2020-12-22 01:54:00 | Anyone had any experience with Chrome OS installations ? As an experiment I attempted to install Chrome OS on a spare laptop using the method in the link below. beebom.com All went according to plan until the reboot, where no OS was found. I had several attempts & got the same result each time. It's an older laptop, but has the required hardware. I had a look at the hard drive afterwards using gparted in linux. There were multiple partitions all showing yellow flags. |

| 1473882 | 2020-12-22 07:24:00 | There was no os installed. I formated the hard drive prior to install. Could be part of the problem. |

| 1473885 | 2020-12-22 08:30:00 | Just a guess --- But when you say It's an older laptop, but has the required hardware. Being to old it may not work. Found the following page - Dont know if its anything related or not github.com What is the CPU in the laptop ? |

| 1473886 | 2020-12-22 20:14:00 | Thats a good in depth article. I'll read it some more, the answer is most likely in there somewhere. The laptop is a Toshiba Satelite Pro L300 CPU is Intel Celeron 550 @2.0 GHz Graphics are integrated. I tried using the samus_recovery.bin for older CPUs but it wouldnt use it. Kept asking for the rammus_recovery.bin Maybe some text needs to be changed to accept it. Also when installing I notice a mention of partition is not mounted, that may be another clue. |

| 1473888 | 2020-12-22 20:34:00 | Yes it will run that, a lot easier to install too. | Driftwood (5551) | ||
| 1473889 | 2020-12-22 21:25:00 | Just checked the production date on the laptop 2008 I guess its too old. |
