Thank you for the quick response. Here I thought it would be something like "easy dude do this". My fault and here is some details.
"So I called Google Chromebox support and made a recovery usb and tried to get the chromebox back to square 1 and start over. Well that didn't work too well."
What I meant was this did not work. The believe the drive is still partitioned and I am not at square 1 because I somehow still booted up Chrome and Kodi as a dual boot. It is like nothing happened.
Google Chromebox support said they couldn't help me when I told them I tried setting up the dual boot and recommended I goto a blog: http://blog.chromium.org/
So in order the reset my Chromebox initially the support at Google had me download the app in my chrome browser on my HP laptop. Using the serial number on a screen of the chromebox i downloaded the correct OS for my box. I set it up for the process of reinstalling on the box. It asked for the usb image. I put it in. A few mins later it said complete, pull out the usb and it will reboot.
I swear I had kodi on the other day after. So my question is: can I go back into the menu and select a different selection this time: Chrome/Open Elec and will it reformat the drive and set things up correctly? I figured it should be able to be corrected so I don't have to return the unit.
Thank you in advance
