Hi there,
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

I had the exact same thing happen to me last night. I ran through the script twice (successfully), and when I tried to select the boot options, nothing happened. I selected the boot options (#3) again, and I got the write protect language. I ran the shell command suggested earlier, and it was clear that the system thought the screw was still in there. I re-opened the box to make sure I didn't remove the wrong screw and closed it again without removing anything new. I re-booted, re-ran the script, and everything worked fine. The only possible difference is that I stuck the screwdriver in the empty screw slot (gently) to make sure there wasn't anything crazy like a metal schard I couldn't see, even though I know that shouldn't make a difference. I'm guessing it was more the reboot that cleared things up than me re-opening the box, but it is possible that there was something else loose in the box I never noticed.
