Also, on the next step , I was able to successfully create the openelec installer using the same usb drive. This same usb drive will not boot on the chromebox. I verified the copy was good using a laptop to test the usb drive.
So I was asking if he saw the same thing, or did the chromebox not detect the usb drive when backing up or copying the openelec image.
The usb installer created from the ez script would not boot. This was before purchasing the new usb stick, though. Also, the os x installer in the tar.gz file always failed to create the usb installer. I then downloaded the .img and used dd to write it to the usb. Finally, it was successful booting.
