ChromeOS installation on non-chromebooks

[Deveshkhatri]

Due to the laggy performance I've been getting on Windows, I have been trying to switch to ChromeOS on my potato. I followed this (https://youtu.be/QviTlPB_BiE) (Kedar Nimbalkar's) video, tried both rammus and samus builds. The error I'm getting by the end reads

 

pv: write failed: no space left on device 

 

After writing 3 of the 12 partitions. The remaining 9 display the aforementioned message. This is weird because there should be space on my device after I agreed to a format in the script. Any fixes for this, please?

 

 

Device Name: Acer Aspire 5736z

Processor: Intel Dual Core T4500

RAM: DDR3 4GB 

Storage: 500GB HDD

Remove all the error-ing partitions, then build one big partition out of the newly unallocated space? I don't know how to do this on linux, so you will have to google that for yourself.

Your probably need to format the hard drive in Linux since it probably still has whatever OS you installed on it. Then try this again.

The script asks for a format, and I said yes to that. It only starts with the partitions after. Also, once I rebooted my laptop after this whole process, I got an error saying there was no bootable disk found. Which I guess would mean the format worked.... right?

It could have formated your EFI partition of Windows which is like 500mb, that's why it's important to format the whole drive. Here's a quick video to show you how to do it if you're unfamiliar with Linux Mint.

edit: The efi partition is actually like 100mb, the recovery partition is like 500mb.

Oh alright. Thank you for correcting me, I'm fairly new to Linux.
