1) Go to Built by Hexxeh to download the latest ChromiumOS Vanilla build. The download size is around 300MB, and it’s wrapped up in a ZIP format.
2) Once you have it downloaded, extract the IMAGE file from the zip file to a convenient location, i.e. your download folder.
3) To load it up to the USB drive (must be minimum of 4GB), you will need a tool called Windows Image Writer, which is a free portable tool that writes the IMAGE file directly to a USB drive and makes it bootable. Make sure back up your USB drive first, as it will be reformatted to a format Windows doesn't recognize.
Before you download, BE AWARE of a few things. These builds:
- Are totally unofficial Chromium OS builds and do not represent the full Chrome OS experience.
- Are offered without any support whatsoever, you use them at your own risk.
- Do NOT automatically update, you'll need to download a new build regularly if you wish to update.
- Do NOT include Flash, Java or the Google Voice/Video plugin for licensing reasons.
- May simply not boot on your hardware: not all configurations work!
