I'm a bit of a newbie but I've exhausted everything to try to install linux on my Chromebook. I've installed ChrUbuntu and crouton successfully but crouton doesn't offer a way to repartition the drive for the installation so I was left with an insufficient amount of memory for my needs in that partition. ChrUbuntu was too slow and I prefer crouton's ability to switch conveniently between Chrome OS and Ubuntu and I how fast it was. So I tried USB booting GParted but it didn't work. I've obviously set the computer to developer mode and set the crossystem dev_boot_usb=1 and changed the firmware to developer but it still won't work. I've tried 3 different kinds of image writing softwares for GParted (tuxboot, netboot, lili usb creator, all listed on GParted site) but they didn't work. I tried x86 and amd64 images but they didn't work. I've tried both USB slots on the computer but neither of them work. When I try to press ctrl+U on the Scary screen, it just makes a single beep. I've also tried booting in legacy and selecting to boot from USB from there but ti says missing operating system, no bootable device. I'm getting very frustrated and I don't know what to do from here. I've also tried two different USB sticks, and a plain ubuntu distro (no GParted) and a chrome OS but all I get is that single beep. Any help would be fantastic. Acer C720
