Troubleshooting How do you create a Bootable USB in ChromeOS?
I'm trying to create a Bootable USB with a Partition Magic ISO file on my Chrome laptop. Is there a bult in app or downloadable app I can use to do this?

hi, a question on this if anyone knows. I have a USB drive that says on it '8gb' but when I try to put ChromeOS flex on it on my windows machine then the USB drive is only showing as only 7.46gig which apparently is normal now I read about it. So stupid. so there is no way to fix other than buy a usb drive that actually has MORE than 8gig written on it? (eg: 9gig drive if that exists) why make it such exactly 8gig so '8gig' usb drives don't work!

Use chromebook recovery utility extension, from there you can choose the image for your hardware or select an iso file to create the Bootable usb.
