at the beginning I had a problem launching the extension. It was showing a message ''not supported''. I just uninstall and reinstall. Then I went directly to my extensions I clicked and it finally lunched the app. I rate 5 stars because my Chromebox recovered very fast. Very simple and easy to use. Thanks.

As of July 14, 2023 this extension was working correctly if the user uses it correctly! I needed to burn a custom firmware onto an sd card using my chromebook. in order for this extension to recognize the firmware i had to rename it .bin as instructed by Arun Kumar in his tutorial "How to burn an ISO to a USB drive on Chromebook". It really was that simple.

I have read all the reviews and recommendations, open Google as administrator, typed in the exact model, ran it on stable and still when I got to end and do it wouldn't finish writing onto the disk. Love my chromebook but this extension to help fix an issue took 2 hours of my life and a 9 pm trip to buy a disk I didn't use.

It partitioned my flash drive and made all but 1 partition unreadable. Chromebook to recover wasn't able read anything on the flash drive. wasted my time and a flash drive.

Absolute Garbage. Downloads recovery tools but hangs at 0% when it comes time to download it to a usb device. have tried multiple devices. I should have expected this though, since Alphabet is a big proponent of the "You'll own nothing and be happy" Cabal. "Computer software outmoded? just buy a shiney new model that's still receiving updates!" "Want support? - lease this phone instead and you'll always have tech support!" "Why be YOU when you could be NEW!"

Doesn't work at all on my Chromebook Acer C720. On Windows it creates USB with bunch of partitions, which does nor boot on Chromebook . And USB is basically trashed, unless lot's of work to restore it to a use.
