I run it a second time and it says openelec install complete. First let me say that I did not remove the screw from the motherboard because while reading instuctions it says to do so if you want to remove the 30s wait or if you want to install stand alone versions, wait on boot up does not bother me so I left in screw. I run chromeOS by pressing cntr'l d on dev screen , no problem it works fine. I assume that to open openelec I press cntrl l on dev screen to run it, when I do that it says booting from Hard Drive and hangs with a blinking line.
First I want to say that I am a complete NOOB at doing this and would appreciate any help, what I want to do is run the xbmc part of openelec.
Thanks

seems like about 20% (number pulled straight from my butt) of people run into this issue with the OpenELEC dual boot option, and I've been unable to determine the cause. For almost all of them, performing a factory reset as described in section 1.3 of the wiki, followed by a full re-install of OpenELEC, seems to fix the issue. I have no idea what's different the 2nd time, or why a reset clears up the issue.

Seems like I'm one of the "20%". Guess that'll all have to wait till tomorrow now.

The firmware I am using is 2014-06-06 -- v2.7 i have the issue with a black boot screen. I have tried pressing the reset button but the box keeps booting in to XBMC. I have tried the Ctrl D option during boot up but again it boots directly into XBMC.

I need help to get back to ChromeOS so that I can reinstall.

Thoughts??

you should be pressing escape to bring up the boot menu and select the chromiumos usb stick.

there isn't really a "best" -- really depends on how much local storage you think you'll need for OE/XBMC. I stream everything off my NAS, so 1GB would be enough for me.

I have just purchased Asus Chromebox core i3 (4GB RAM + 16GB SSD) and plan to customize it to run OE/XBMC + ChromeOS (thanks to you )

I will also stream everything from my NAS but still, as I understand, XBMC maintains its library locally so if I keep OE/XBMC partition at a minimum of 1 to 2 GB, then will it be possible to set XBMC to maintain it's library on the external SSD (bought and inserted additionally)?

Thanks

I followed the instructions and everything seemed to work until I was trying to load Openelec from USB. It starts up and I hit ESC to enter the boot menu, then I select the USB drive and hit enter. The monitor then goes to inactive and turns off, leaving the chromebox running, but not doing anything.

Do you have any idea what I am doing wrong?
