Preparation
We need a USB-drive sizes from 4GB.From official sources to get information about those devices that support Chrome OS, the installation of such Soup runs smoothly.However, if certain equipment is not in the list, do not despair.If we talk about Chrome OS, install on a computer of any model will be available, as this platform is based on Linux.The most likely problems include difficulty with adapters Wi-Fi: often these devices refuse to work.
Removable media
Next to be discussed as executed in the case of Chrome OS installation from a USB drive.Google is an official assembly of its operating system does not deliver.Therefore, you should use third-party publications - Lime and Vanilla.The latter is the most recent build.Let's start with her.If you have any compatibility issues is best to take advantage of Lime.This publication has enhanced support for device drivers.It includes components for graphics cards from AMD and nVidia, processors Realtek, Ralink and Broadcom, and adapters Wi-Fi.
So, in the case of Chrome OS installation on your PC is as follows.Download the distribution system.Open the downloaded ZIP file and save the file to a separate directory IMG.Image Writer download programs and run the EXE.Insert the flash drive into a PC and write with the help of applications IMG files on it.All data on removable media will be destroyed.The next step is launching platform Chrome OS.Reboot your computer and enter the BIOS.First install the USB source download.Download will first take place with Chrome OS.The process is much slower than on the company's equipment.The fact that there is mounted on drive platform SSD, in this case a USB.That's all we launched Chrome OS, installed on your computer successfully.
Adaptation netbook and laptop
The main problem, as mentioned above, is related to the compatibility.Therefore, for portable devices will need to use the assembly of the operating system from Dell, as it is the least satisfactory.We need a program Win32DiskImager.This app will help record the image of the operating system on the removable media.If your laptop has an external drive, you can do without this program by writing data to a CD.Install applications HPUSBDisk.This tool is required to return the removable media original size.We will use it after the completion of all activities associated with the installation.

Settings System Settings are possible via the browser menu.Conventional three tabs available in the standard browser, Chrome, will be complemented by several more.As for the setting, it is available in Russian and intuitive.Working with removable media is similar to that from the HDD.The operating system is developed as a Live CD, using the memory device.
However, we continue to look at how to install Chrome OS as a core platform on a hard disk.The process is not very complicated.The system needs only a few minutes in order to transfer data from the removable media to the HDD.So, to boot from the USB device and call the system console by pressing the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl + Alt + T.Enter in the command shell.Push the button «Enter».We are waiting for the system to respond, and enter the following line: / usr / sbin / chromeos-install.Press «Enter».The system asks for permission to install the platform.Confirm their intention.To do this, press the corresponding dialog on the keyboard «y», hereinafter «Enter».The next step is the assembly Dell will request a password.Gaining embedded code: dell1234.Push the button «Enter».Platform Chrome OS will start the installation, and after a few minutes it will be possible to run the system from the hard disk.After completion of the procedure turn off the laptop and extract the drive from the port USB.
