When i tried to install chrome it says there is no hard drive in the computer.

thanks for your time in reading this and I hope to hear from you soon. Really don't want to do a hard reset and lose all the files and data that is on it. This one has got me by the neck so any input,suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Had this same error show up on another laptop and was able to powerup and shut down 20 times and then the windows page came up, cannot do this on the chromebook because I have to press power and alt keys to get off the black screen so the same process will not work. Took it apart and disconnected the battery (twice) again no go.

I got it to power up by pressing alt/power keys the same time. unpluged from wall outlet, pressed and held down power key for 60 seconds. tried plugging chromebook to power outlet to see if it would turn on. I have tried the following, let it charge for 6 hours. 3.1 Stay in developer mode 3.2 Download a recovery image 3.3 Modify the recovery image so we can mount it 3.4 Change the chromeos-install script to just fix.

error showing is Chrome OS is missing or damaged, Please insert a recovery USB stick or SD card.
