Open Just-Randomly-Me opened 3 years ago

Ok so i tried installing galium os on my chromebook. I just found out that legacy seabios doesn't support Gemini lake intel based chromebook. So when i installed the galium os on the chrx it allocated 49 gigs of space. So now when i tried to go back to stable mode the storage became 1 gigs so it's unusable anymore. PLSSS HELP ME. Is there anyway to resize / remove the chrx. I NEED HELP

EDIT: So i still don't know how to fix this. 49 gigs is still allocated at chrx. I don't know what to do. Nobody is still responding.

Okay I'll try resetting the Chromebook in a way with chrome os recovery so that the chrx partition is deleted

FIXED: SO yeah the fixes is up above this comment. Steps are: Install Chromebook recovery utility Then identify your exact Chromebook and download the recovery media or download your image file on this link https://cros.tech/device/octopus Then search on the internet how to use Chromebook recovery media Then after that Press [ESC+REFRESH+POWER BUTTON] then it should recover your media now . . . . You may notice that the downloaded one through the link is a zip file. So open the zip file and drag the bin file inside to wherever you want them to. Then use that bin file for Chromebook recovery media

Fixed

I had to delete the partion table on the internal SSD, then restore.

I had this issue with a 128GB Lenovo C630. After trying chrx, I changed my mind, but could not see how to remove the new partion (I did a 60GB for linux). Even after repeated restores (trying the download location above or the original machine to get the recovery image), it ran the recovery but still had only 4GB reported in settings for Chrome, and a 108GB partion #7

The solution for me was to delete the partition table on the SSD, and then run restore (I also first exited develper mode, as the recovery warned about it, dont know it made any difference) In my case I used MrChromebox to set the RW_LEGACY and then CTRL-L to Linux on a USB, Then use the partition manager to delete the partition table (There was a 108GB partion, I tried deleting that first, but the chrome recovery restored it) So essentially it was like replacing the ssd with a brand new blank one. Since all my account parameters were synced to the Google cloud the unit is good as new. (Try doing that with windoze!)
