When i power off and restart, there is no option to choose the boot (blank screen into the chromeOS) I see that it should say "esc." on the black screen... and ctrl+d or ctrl+l also dont seem to do anything? Was I supposed to always stay in developer mode? The fact that Lon admits doing something wrong in his setup, confuses me even more. I followed the steps on the wiki, and have just finished watching his video, and just confused.

you should not have exited developer mode - tried to make that explicit on the wiki.

Assuming you already performed the factory reset as per my instructions, you'll just need to re-enter developer mode, re-download/re-run the script, and re-run the 2nd stage of the OE dual boot setup. Once that's done, then you will be able to boot into either ChromeOS or OpenELEC via [CTRL-D] / [CTRL-L] on the developer boot screen.

If you didn't do the factory reset the first time around, do that, then start from scratch.

Lon's video is more confusing than helpful IMO.
alrighty, thanks for quick reply! It does mention several times to be in developer mode, but i was under the assumption that this was just for the installation process, and for daily use, i could return to the "normal" mode. but ill follow your steps!

Also in Wiki, I came across something. chrome://imageburner did not work for me (wasted an hour bc I wasn't sure how long it should take as this is my first time). Discovered there is a webstore app Chromebook Restore Utility that does what imageburner should do. Its an easy to follow guide, and quick. I recommend updating the wiki for this.

Thanks for this great dual boot pc.
