Natively Running Windows 7 on Acer C7 Chromebook
UPDATE: Here is a guide to installing Linux after you flashed the Coreboot BIOS:
• Video
This is the Acer C710 Chromebook aka 1st generation Acer C7 running Windows 7 64bit natively. This is a clean install of Windows running a custom BIOS ROM known as Coreboot with a SeaBios payload.
It is very important that the jumper is set when you are making a back up and obviously when you are flashing the ROM. If you make a backup without the jumper being set, then your backup rom will not be good. If you try to re-flash the with a bad original rom, YOU WILL BRICK IT! So be careful.
I don't recommend that you try this unless you are fully prepared to brick your Chromebook. This is not a definitive guide. Here are the links I used to get information from:
To skip the talking and entering the Developer mode, jump to 02:40 for disabling the write protect chip.
Make sure you download the ROM file called coreboot-parrot-seabios-windows-27102013.rom. It was made specifically to boot and load Windows if that is what you are attempting to do. I did this at 9:17
