If you just want to test Chrome OS, your best bet is running it in a virtual machine. But this method lets you take your Chrome OS installation wherever you go and use it on other computers, which is kind of neat.

A company named Neverware takes this open source code and creates a product called Neverware CloudReady. However, Neverware also offers a home version of CloudReady for free.

Some additional features, like support for Android apps , are not available on Chromium OS. You may also run into issues with websites that use certain multimedia or DRM features.

Neverware offers a list of officially supported devices that have been certified to run with CloudReady. The bit version should work on most computers, although much older computers will only support the bit version. Extract the downloaded. On Windows, you can just double-click the. This official Google-provided utility will create your bootable USB drive.

Warning : The contents of the USB drive will be erased. The resulting USB drive can be used on any computer, so you can take it with you and boot it wherever you like. In a simple scenario, you may just need to insert the USB drive into a computer, restart the computer, and it will boot from the USB drive. In other scenarios, you may need to modify your boot order or use a boot menu to select the USB drive. Select your language and network to continue. However, this is only necessary if you want to install the operating system to your computer—you can use CloudReady all you like from the USB drive.

Consult the official Neverware CloudReady installation guide for more detailed information, if you need it. I have an HP nx laptop It just doesn't like my wireless adapter. I have a 8 gig flash drive and after reformatting on a friends computer it works fine on theirs Windows 7 But now it doesn't work in any of my USB ports Windows Vista The ports work fine and can read other USB flash drives and mice just fine.

I don't wanna just give this flash drive away to them and it wasn't the other issues found in these comments about it being reduced to mb. It shows up in the task bar to 'safely remove' but no pop-up window that you usually get when initially plugging a USB flash drive in.

It could be that when the flash drive was formatted on win 7 it also assigned a drive letter. On your pc check your drives have you got any other drive letters that are not in use. If so use this command in a dos prompt or simply copy and paste the text into notepad and save as all files the file as deletedrivemaps. Great watching top gear on the bbc iplayer. Running from a 4gb stick on an Asus f3f centrino duo.

The laptop was heading for the bin as the motherboard won't recognise the hard drive. This os runs great from the stick perfect for the kids. VirtualBox ran it on all systems. Hey can I know how to shut down the os if running on a computer Google tells that u can just put down the lid of a laptop but what about computers Please Help and thats weired that google didn't make a shut down button Great idea, but 3 Gig image size? C'mon guys, get real.

If this is the future in OS's, we have a lot to worry about. A big WTF. Rob, Remember you made this comment. A year or so from now you'll be eating some humble pie. After some problems with a U3 flash drive, which I had to reformat etc, etc, I got this working fine on an Aspire netbook.

Only problem is - not being a Linux man - where do I find my hard drive for setting Downloads location? I'm fine with Win7 Home Premium for now! But it's fun to play with. On the subject of USB drive, I used an 8gb drive. I can see and delete the 2nd and 3rd partitions although, presumably, doing so would corrupt Chrome , but I cannot use them in Windows, and cannot assign drive letters. I presume this is because they are Linux partitions. I also cannot create a partition in the unallocated space.

There is a workaround posted at the link above, which I might try! Workaround above doesn't work. The Lexar program BootIt doesn't even see the removable drive, again, presumably, because the drive is not useable in Windows once the Chrome image has been written to it. Really want to try this!

What types of internet connections will it work with at this stage? Hear people have problems with wifi. What about 3g modems? Those of you that got it to work, was it only with wired connections?

Definatly the OS of the future for netbooks!!! Even the XP run like a 90 year-old granpa in the marathon And you have the chance to have a blue screen. I use Ubuntu 9. I definatly give my vote to this OS. Well done Google you shut the mouth of Bill Gates and his useless Windows 7. Power to free OS!!!! Also very nice post!!! Very exciting, but before I try: is there any chance this will work with my internal 3g modem on my Aspire one? That is my only Internet connection right now.

I guess I would have to be very lucky to make that work since people don't even get wifi to work? Anybody knows anything about this? The app that came with the pre-installed win xp for the 3g modem is called globetrotter connect.

I can see the utility of this OS for running the likes of a cheap sub-PC-type machine like the old Psion Organisers or such like, but i'm not sure about running it on a netbook - seems like an exercise in 'how to disable as many of your netbook's features as possible, leaving you with just the very basics so you spent all that money for nothing'. Jorge, well done! Presumably bring up a command window and Need to set ip, subnet mask, gateway and DNS. Please help! I was able to load Android too!

Thank you! I would like that kind on thinstation :. I've just starting playing with this OS tonight. This from an USB stick. Not bad at all. Wireless networking does'nt seem to work but I can live with that for at while. Then again I did not try hard to make it work Looking so much forward to get it on a SSD drive.

Thanx for the torrent. I feel kinda retarded right now. I'm a tech that can't log in to this! I type in chromium and gmail. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for the information that you have provided. I also installed in a VirtualBox. It is fairly straight-forward as Jorge pointed out.

I have tried it booted off a pen drive too. But, I already have a browser on my laptop and Linux boots there in 8 seconds! I can see non-technical computer use of Google Chromium OS with a handheld device or a green netbook non-techie. Local disk storage and non-browser applications are absolutely essential to software developers.

I guess that I am atypical for this type of OS. What about computer games that are not cloud-based? There are s of Linux and Windows games now that people use. Wait for browser-based equivalents running on the cloud? Another potential roadblock: cloud-based storage. There is a perhaps a somewhat irrational fear of storing the 'family jewels' on a cloud, however protected it may seem to be.

I suppose one could keep this type of data on a local pen drive or portable USB hard drive if you are traveling but how would I access a spreadsheet, for example? Maybe I answered my own questions about data protection. Thank you very much for this. I've got an Acer Aspire One A and it works very well, and is fast too! Thank you. Still a lot of work to be done. Google is starting to fall down the trap Microsoft fell into in thinking people will follow enmass if they have enough incentive and if they don't - then sideline the buggers.

Googles paypacket rests on people going online Microsofts paypacket rests on people buying their offline products.

This is another attempt by Google to step into Microsofts castle but most people who use a netbook don't use it solely for online services and the cloud and Google are irrelevent in that respect. I don't think people are picking up on the fact you need a good broadband connection to use this software. The point of a netbook is its extreme portability; I use my netbook in the depths of the countryside where a weak GPRS signal often has to suffice.

I also use offline software like OpenOffice and will store browsed information for later use when there is no signal. To my mind the 'everything is in the cloud' concept has a fatal flaw, in that a netbook has to be able to run 'standalone'.

I downloaded it and installed on USB drive. But when I reboot and try to boot from the pen drive, it says 'Boot Error' Do I need to try writing again? If not, you can get all sorts of boot errors. The dd utility happily wrote a boot image into that volume. Anyone else experiencing a slow trackpad? I have tweaked it using the OS properties and it is still slow. The trackpad issue is due to a bug, we are working on it.

Is there a way to update a build that lives on a USB drive? If I replace the disk image, are all my personal settings saved i the cloud? You can even watch Netflix in Chrome on Linux now. There are no dirty hacks required—it just works. If you decide you want to install it on your computer, you can do that right from the live environment. Anyone knows where I can find a goddamn bootable iso file to install chromeOS? Searched and searched for an hour and found nothing.

All I found was a shady bootable USB maker that just corrupted the whole key hopefully it wasnt an important one. Should You Really Do This? Still, you can sideload Android apps or. It is available as a PC and Vmware system image. However, you can browse as a guest to avoid this but that limits you to basic features. The new version was insanely fast and booted in under 20 seconds.

Android subsystem and related functionalities are limited to Intel series graphics cards. We are quite impressed to see how it manages to run Linux Apps and Android apps together. The changes include additional management features and hardware support. They also offer a free version of CloudReady for home users. Chromefy is a project to make a Chrome OS image on your computer. Due to limitations, such a website can not ship ready-made images.

So what the project requires is a recovery image and custom Chrome OS image Arnoldthebat and the special script, When mixed together it will be built a Chrome OS image that you can burn into USB and boot.

You might be asking? The answer is simple, Chromefy adds things that other custom Chrome OS forks fail to deliver. The biggest feature is the Android app and maybe Google assistant. I tried to put my hands in the dirt and was unable to build Chrome Image using this since I do not know about this topic. If you happen to get it to work, please leave a comment below.
