Step 1: Creating the Boot Drive

• In Chrome, install the Chromebook Recovery Utility
• Under browser extensions click Chrome Recovery Utility to begin creating a ChromeOS boot drive
• Once the extension window open, click Get Started

• Click Select a model from a list

• Using the Select a manufacturer dropdown select Google ChromeOS Flex and for Select a product select ChromeOS Flex. Click Continue.

• Using the dropdown select the USB drive that was selected in the first step. Click Continue.

• Click Create Now. The recovery image will be dowloaded onto the USB Drive, wait until the download completes. (When the download begins writing to disk you may be prompted to enter your computer password, enter the information and allow). Once the download is complete the window will close, eject the USB from your machine.
