Understood. So if the Hard drive is toast, there is no solution other than sending it to a service center? Probably cheaper to replace the entire chromebook.

Thanks for your help.

The Chrome book responded as described in the solution and restarted. There was about a 10-15 second pause, then two beeps and it returned to the developer screen.

I guess I didn't make it clear that I have replaced the hard drive. (Explained in a previous post).

Thanks,

Chrome OS recovery error

Elkhorn — Sun, 13 Oct 2013 21:49:55 GMT

Okay, downloaded the Chrome OS recovery program. I run in to two problems. One it will not recognize the thumb drive.

I have tried multiple drives of various sizes and configurations.

Second problem, if it DOES recognize the drive it gets part way through the process and displays an UNABLE TO WRITE error and directs me to a temp file. Everything is fine, program unpacks then:

That's where it ends. I click okay, and it seems to continue but then when I put the device in my chrome book it isn't recognized.

Thanks,

Acer C7 chromebook recovery problem

Elkhorn — Sun, 13 Oct 2013 02:41:19 GMT

I was in the process of trying to use the chrome recovery tool for the PARROT RUFF A-C 6172. I had to unplug the USB because it wasn't doing anything. I did another restart on the chromebook and the developer screen is now in spanish!

The original language was english and it was in english when I started the recovery process.

Thanks,

Elkhorn
