I tried opening the shell from the browser and maybe the font was smaller or something because the Cr-48 version was still visible at the very top of the screen. It's #5. Problem solved. For now. Until they add more hardware to the list. How can I go up to view the earlier part of the output?Doug Hawkeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03065136330140264993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1849709720667465506.post-9208568888654410672011-10-08T16:40:07.683-04:002011-10-08T16:40:07.683-04:00Jay, when the Cr-48 Chrome OS shell displays the l...Jay, when the Cr-48 Chrome OS shell displays the list of recovery images available, the list is so long that the only ones that are visible by the time I need to enter the number are the number 6 and 7 which are both Acer.

It will ask for your recovery drive which you can then insert and the recovery process will occur automatically from there on out.<br /><br />JayJay Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00534053872316638799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1849709720667465506.post-77583009028714425852011-03-27T22:04:31.910-04:002011-03-27T22:04:31.910-04:00How do I reset my Cr-48 from the flash drive now?How do I reset my Cr-48 from the flash drive now?LivingChainshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00792613417258575268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1849709720667465506.post-21450905064364175312011-03-26T09:19:23.772-04:002011-03-26T09:19:23.772-04:00Hey, I know this may sound a bit elementary, but I...Hey, I know this may sound a bit elementary, but I have music files on my windows machine and I want to put them on the CR-48.
