Error downloading firmware version information; cannot proceed.

no. http://kodi.wiki/view/Chromebox#Troubleshooting.2C_Known_Issues.2C_Fixes.2FWorkarounds

just re-create your install media from another machine / using a different USB stick/SD card

Should I try with a different flash drive and if yes, what should I put on it ? Chromium ?

Quote:If you don't see the 'Press ESC for boot menu' text, then the issue is with your boot media, so try using a different USB flash drive.

If the install media created by the script doesn't work (or you forget to create it before rebooting), then you can simply download the latest stable version (or beta/RC if you'd like) from OpenELEC's website here. The ChromeBox runs the 'x86-64' version of OpenELEC, and it's recommended that you download the disk image version, and create the install media, as per the instructions on the OpenELEC wiki.

I just have one here. A 1gb usb2 noname key.

Can i use it to first backup, then transfer the backup to my windows station (hoping if i need to restore to be able to copy it back to a flash drive without having permission or worst in the process...) and then use it for the install ?

Also, do I need to have a special formating for the keys ?

Thanks again

Edit: Well, in the same time i have - forgive the expression - a shitload of spare hdd i can throw in a usb enclosure. I don't see no reasons for it not to work but a green light would help here
