Hey all. I’m trying to swap out the internal 16 GB SanDisk SSD with a 128 GB SSD on my Asus Chromebox CN60, but everything I’ve tried so far has not worked out. I tried installing from different images’ live environments (Batocera, Lubuntu, Android_x86) with no luck. Eventually I tried flashing the image to the SSD itself using balenaEtcher, but putting that back in with no other boot device also isn’t working out.
Is there some documentation that I can take a look at? I wasn’t seeing anything in particular on here or on MrChromebox’s site, so I was unsure if this was even something I should be doing.
I poked around on the forum and didn’t see anything quite related to this issue, but if there’s already a thread that has the solution feel free to point me over there. Thank you.
and this means what exactly?
what is the exact drive you installed? The CN60 only supports SATA SSDs, not NVMe

My bad, wasn’t trying to be vague there with the ‘everything’. The ‘everything’ in this instance was the combination of different OS’s and pulling the drive out and just installing the image on there before putting it back in.
The CN60 only supports SATA SSDs, not NVMe.
Ah, that might be the issue. The drive I installed was one I got off of eBay (not a great idea but a cheap one) and the drive is in fact an SK Hyinx 128 GB NVMe M.2 SSD. I just ordered a SATA SSD. I should be getting it in the mail tomorrow so I’ll update this when I get that.
Appreciate the quick response MrChromebox 
And again apologies for the unintended vagueness.
This ended up being the case. Installing a SATA SSD I see it popping up when asked to install to a different drive. Thank you again!
