I followed it to the letter. I did struggle to get out of the script page, I pressed "q" like it said but nothing happened so I turned the box off, however it seemed I had managed to install open elec, and when the box re booted, open elec was on the screen but it was just frozen I could not use it in any way. So I turned off the box when I tried to re boot, same thing. So I put in the chrome recovery disk and tried to start over again. I ran the recovery but it does not allow me to get to the chrome os, the screen is just blank. I just tried again and now I cant even run recovery.Do you think Ive bricked the box?

I want openelec as the default. i already used this script on another Asus Chromebox with openelec and ChromeOS sucessfully and noticed that there is no option to install a different OS. What changes would I need to make?

Depends. You can easily have ChromeOS on the internal ssd and Windows (or any other OS) on an external one, but you can't have windows and ChromeOS on the internal drive due to storage constraints and the fact that Windows' boot loader won't play nicely with ChromeOS. The dual boot options offered by this script are provided because they offer the easiest way to run Kodi without booting an external drive.

Is this bang for buck considering the price of the Celeron model and the fact that the CN62 models are around the corner? I know in Kodi use the Celeron model offers plenty, but for $70 you get better CPU/GPU and more RAM.

Then just install the standalone/custom firmware and install whatever 2/3/4 OSes you want, just like any other PC. That sort of setup is outside of the scope of this thread however

but now I cant get my USB drive to work...so how can I make another copy of the recovery media?
and what do I do to correct this?
