I have downloaded the chrome os build by hexxeh but I am confused what to do next as the link to write it to the usb on the website no longer works so I need to find another way.

How can I do this?

I have downloaded build 4028 from the hexxeh website http://chromeos.hexxeh.net/

    The link does work - sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager. Downloads are now on Sourceforge only. So, click 'sourceforge' and download

  • If it is a bootable iso you can format your stick as NTFS and extract the image to it. Worked for me with many windows discs.

When you click the "https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/" link offered on the page you linked (buried inside the "Windows" tutorial accordion pane) it does work, and it takes you to the "Image Writer for Windows" home page.

On this home page, right near the top it says the following:

This project is currently being migrated to Sourceforge. Please be patient.

Downloads are now on Sourceforge only.

Links to the new SourceForge project site are provided right below that:

Head there to download it.

If you are using windows then use Windows Image Writer or Win32 Disk Imager then select the Image file and select the USB device from the menu and Click on Write. After that you will be able to boot from Chrome OS USB stick
