Big thumbs up for Matt for making this so easy!

Screen goes black and nothing. When I press the Recovery button and power on, I get the Chrome window with message that Chrome OS is missing, etc. In the upper left, I have the following script

gbb.flags is nonzero: 0x00000489
read-only firmware id: Google_Panther.4920.24.26
active firmware id: Google_Panther.4920.24.26

Inserting a ChromeOS recovery image on USB is non-responsive.

Does anyone have any helpful advice as to next steps ? Being the newbie, I have neither the tools nor the expertise to flash the firmware but am willing to take any advice and give it a try (minus hating on iPhones).

Thanks

I just would like to boot to this hdd from my chromebox, if I want to, but still be able to use ChromeOS and automatic updates.
I suppose the part
"-----------------------------------------
Update Legacy BIOS (dual boot)
-----------------------------------------"
of your script would do that, but I am still uncertain.

This doesn't happen in normal use, e.g. reading files, only when writing. I'd say > 80% it will lose connection to the hard drive and require a restart. It's not a problem I've had when using the hard drive with my PC, but I couldn't rule out a fault with the hard drive itself. I've tried copying from other USB devices and from the Chomebox's SSD but it makes no difference.

Is this something anyone else has experienced or has a cause for? The only similar thing I've found when searching was someone whose Asus Chromebox was behaving similarly with a 1TB Seagate drive. Their theory was that it was a USB 3.0 issue and that using a USB 2.0 hub remedied the situation.

Has anyone got any thoughts on it? I'd ideally prefer to use USB 3.0, but if downgrading to USB 2.0 is going to fix it I'll guess I'll buy a USB 2.0 hub.

Now after looking at this issue for a month it seems to be the problem that the batteries go empty in a week or so. It isnt a bluetooth disconnect.
My remote seems to always drain power or something because otherwise i canot explain why it burns through fresh batteries in a week. Can anybody give me some advice?
