      Open the Chromebook recovery extension in chrome. Click on the gear in the top right. Choose Erase recovery media and select your USB. Click, continue then erase.

    It looks like the flash drive was formatted FAT. I have an HP EliteBook 840 G1 laptop, can't install. Is there anything in the BIOS, like legacy or secure boot? Do i have to format the drive? It doesn't even detect the flash drive?.. :/

    Not possible in Switzerland, no computer is compatible with the extension Chrome Recovery Utility, which generates a message telling this computer (as any other I tried, even Cromebooks) is not compatible with Chrome OS... There is not the parameters menu on top right to choose other options, like installing from a locale source... Is this extension hacked?
