I've tried flashing Chrome OS Flex onto a 16gb SanDisk usb 6 times and on every occasion I make it ~40% into stage 3 (unzipping) before receiving the following error message "Unable to unzip file. Please check if your device has enough space and try again."

Update 05/23/2024 - This extension still gets hundreds of negative reviews from people who really aren't qualified to use this. It seriously doesn't deserve negative reviews. IT WORKS PERFECTLY. As for the following complaints: 1) "It broke my flash drive" - use the utility to erase your flash drive. Press the gear icon in the upper right corner of the utility to do it. 2) "It won't launch" - you're clicking on the picture of the extension on the Google play store. Learn how to open extensions on Chrome. Google is your friend. Or look for the little puzzle piece in the upper right hand corner of Chrome. 3) "it gives me a weird DVD writer error" - you are probably doing this on a Chromebook. Try another flash drive, preferably a different brand. Original Post: This extension has too many negative reviews. Ignore any review dated prior to June 23, 2022. That's when this extension was last updated. Also read the Chromebook recovery instructions found here: https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/6002417 Chrome OS Flex specific instructions can be found here: https://support.google.com/chromeosflex/answer/11552529 I just installed the extension today (15July2022) and it worked perfectly to create a Chrome OS Flex installation USB drive. I used Chrome Version 103.0.5060.114 on Windows 10 build 21H1, logged in as an administrator. After creating the drive, I booted from it and tested it. Yes, it is slow running on the USB drive. And yes, it "shrinks" your USB drive down to roughly 4GB. If you want to reuse your drive, you have to use this extension to erase it. It creates some unusual partitions that only this utility can delete. Chrome OS Flex does not support dual boot configurations, so if you install it on a machine with multiple hard drives expect it to erase ALL hard drives on your machine. Ideally you should test this first on a second machine, one where you aren't concerned about data loss. And no, I don't work for Google.

Linux not supported and no .iso of chrome os flex readily available. This is so useless and annoying... Not a Google standard, failed software.

The installer splits the USB storage in 11(!) paritions and still won't boot.
