Great forum,
Just purchased the HP chrome box and followed the instructions for installing dual boot with openelec.
I Removed the write-protect screw but still I am getting a message that write protect is enabled.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot

double check that you removed the correct screw, since that is literally the only thing that could cause your problem. The write-protect screw has a segmented metal ring on the board underneath it, so that the two halves are not connected when the screw is removed

Thanks for the quick response.
Hi checked and rechecked the screw is removed but write protect is enabled. based on an earlier suggestion I checked with "sudo crossytem" command and got "1" at the the last 2 lines. Is it important when in the process the screw should be removed? i.e., if I repeat the process should I put back the screw and remove it only after I put the box in development mode?
