00:00.000 --> 00:01.979
hey guys Gabriel with chrome unboxed and

00:01.979 --> 00:03.750
today we're talking recovery media

00:03.750 --> 00:06.029
perhaps you've bought your device and

00:06.029 --> 00:07.230
you've got that white screen of death

00:07.230 --> 00:09.870
that says insert recovery media or maybe

00:09.870 --> 00:11.250
you like us and you'd like to take her

00:11.250 --> 00:12.630
and it's just a good idea to have a

00:12.630 --> 00:14.490
backup just in case so we're going to

00:14.490 --> 00:16.529
show you all the steps on how to install

00:16.529 --> 00:20.380
and create a backup for your device

00:20.380 --> 00:24.949
[Music]

00:24.949 --> 00:27.510
before we get started this video is

00:27.510 --> 00:29.730
brought to you by Nord VPN it's the VPN

00:29.730 --> 00:31.650

00:31.650 --> 00:33.960
you're at home abroad public Wi-Fi it

00:33.960 --> 00:35.910
will keep your browsing safe and secure

00:35.910 --> 00:37.920
to learn more go to Chrome on box.com

00:37.920 --> 00:41.760
forward slash Nord VPN alright if you're

00:41.760 --> 00:43.800
doing this just as a backup you can do

00:43.800 --> 00:45.329
it from whatever device you want but if

00:45.329 --> 00:46.770
you've actually borked your chromebook

00:46.770 --> 00:48.629
you'll need a second device to set up

00:48.629 --> 00:51.239
the recovery media so we have a Acer 512

00:51.239 --> 00:52.710
here that we've got on the recovery

00:52.710 --> 00:54.870
screen and we're going to use the HP 15

00:54.870 --> 00:59.030
to dam load and create our image so

00:59.030 --> 01:01.530
let's get started on installing alright

01:01.530 --> 01:02.910
one other thing you're gonna need is a

01:02.910 --> 01:04.890
flash drive you're gonna need at least

01:04.890 --> 01:06.960
four gigs in the flash drive will work

01:06.960 --> 01:08.880
obviously if your device only has USB

01:08.880 --> 01:10.950
sees you're gonna need an adaptor or USB

01:10.950 --> 01:13.890
C Drive recommend pretty much any brands

01:13.890 --> 01:15.659
you want to pick up except for sand

01:15.659 --> 01:17.670
discs for some reasons sandesh flash

01:17.670 --> 01:19.380
drives do not play well with the Chrome

01:19.380 --> 01:21.479
OS recovery tool and they are hit or

01:21.479 --> 01:23.340
miss so you gonna slide over to the

01:23.340 --> 01:24.900
chrome webstore and you're gonna look up

01:24.900 --> 01:27.360
the Chromebook recovery utility it is by

01:27.360 --> 01:28.890
Google you can see it right there on the

01:28.890 --> 01:30.840
offered by your gonna install that on

01:30.840 --> 01:31.979
your Chromebook and then you're gonna

01:31.979 --> 01:33.750
launch it they're gonna be greeted with

01:33.750 --> 01:35.310
a screen that tells you the same thing I

01:35.310 --> 01:36.750
just did you're gonna need a flash drive

01:36.750 --> 01:39.210
go ahead and get started so this is

01:39.210 --> 01:40.110
where you're actually going to choose

01:40.110 --> 01:41.460
the device that you're making the

01:41.460 --> 01:43.259
recovery media for not the one you're

01:43.259 --> 01:45.509
doing it on so you can select the model

01:45.509 --> 01:47.280
from a list sometimes you might have to

01:47.280 --> 01:49.110
use the board name and we'll put a link

01:49.110 --> 01:51.000
in the description where you can find

01:51.000 --> 01:52.770
all those board names for your specific

01:52.770 --> 01:54.270
device but just go ahead and click

01:54.270 --> 01:57.600
select model from the list go to Acer

01:57.600 --> 02:00.240
and then you're going to keep scrolling

02:00.240 --> 02:02.430
until you find the 512 there's a couple

02:02.430 --> 02:03.869
different model numbers they're all the

02:03.869 --> 02:05.790
same it's all the same board and then

02:05.790 --> 02:08.190
from there click continue make sure your

02:08.190 --> 02:09.989
flash drive is inserted and then select

02:09.989 --> 02:10.800
the

02:10.800 --> 02:12.330
device you want to use right now we have

02:12.330 --> 02:15.000
a 16 gig on the drive there and then

02:15.000 --> 02:17.670
next and create now it's going to take a

02:17.670 --> 02:19.380
few minutes to download and install this

02:19.380 --> 02:20.940
and then when it's done it'll tell you

02:20.940 --> 02:22.350
do you eject the device and you're ready

02:22.350 --> 02:24.000
to go it's moving on to the next

02:24.000 --> 02:25.980
Chromebook got your white screen of

02:25.980 --> 02:27.150
death there so you're gonna take your

02:27.150 --> 02:29.790
newly created recovery media plug it

02:29.790 --> 02:32.160
into the drive and we wait that's gonna

02:32.160 --> 02:34.920
verify the install image and then in

02:34.920 --> 02:36.510
just a few seconds it will start the

02:36.510 --> 02:37.950
recovery process it doesn't take very

02:37.950 --> 02:39.840
long it's just installing a new version

02:39.840 --> 02:42.090
of Chrome OS and making sure

02:42.090 --> 02:43.560
everything's verified and safe and

02:43.560 --> 02:45.390
you'll be ready to go so there you go

02:45.390 --> 02:47.190
once the recovery is complete it'll let

02:47.190 --> 02:49.080
you know and you're just going to remove

02:49.080 --> 02:51.480
the media and it will restart on its own

02:51.480 --> 02:53.160
once this reboot you have a completely

02:53.160 --> 02:55.530
clean fresh install of Chrome OS you'll

02:55.530 --> 02:57.720
be ready to login just like its brand

02:57.720 --> 02:59.970
new for whatever reason this did not

02:59.970 --> 03:01.620
work maybe your recovery media was

03:01.620 --> 03:03.450
flawed just try it again

03:03.450 --> 03:05.220
use a different flash drive you always

03:05.220 --> 03:07.080
want to make sure you have at least a

03:07.080 --> 03:09.360
four gig flash drive and this will work

03:09.360 --> 03:11.550
with any device so once you get into the

03:11.550 --> 03:13.140
recovery tool you'll be able to find any

03:13.140 --> 03:15.630
device that you have is in the list
