    I started a topic in the vaio section with my question and was sent here. I have a Sony Vaio E series, and it has a WEB button that boots a stripped version of linux. A while back i deleted this stripped version by accident, now i want it back. But i had a idea, instead of linux i would like Google Chrome OS to boot.

    Is this possible? And if so, how?

    I haven't found anyone who has done this or even tried, but i would really love it!

    Were is the stripped version located? On the hard drive or on some embedded flash memory module? If that location is accessible to the chrome os installer. I don't see why it would not be possible.
