Chromebook boot pendrive

Writer Mia Lopez

i want to create bootable ubuntu-live pendrive on chromebook. I have Crouton (13.04, KDE), but the usb-creator-kde package is not included. I tried to install Unetbootin, grub, syslinux , but none of them succeeded. Does anyone have the solutions? thanks

I don't know if you can create a pendrive from within chromium os, you might need to do this if you really want ubuntu along side chrome

The issue is that chromium OS doesn't like to execute any exe files for the installer to run. The way to get around that is to install wine on the crouton package using apt-get but I haven't seen any concrete evidence to support that crouton runs wine. I need this done too, and it's way too complex.

There is an app in play store called crossover for chrome. It allows you to run windows apps on Chromebook, has entire windows filesystem and runs wine. Try it, out. Should work for you.
