Hide the NTFS partition and start in ChromeOS by default

Hi wonderful people
I will go straight to the point

Thank you, this problem is now solved

I have an HP 14b chromebook with windows installed following Coolstar’s website, it has the original SSD with the ChromeOS installation still on it , it still boots to ChromeOS developer mode and i am using CTRL+L to go into libreboot then Windows

I want to know if there is a way to HIDE the NTFS partition and resize it so it’s almost nothing, then go out of developer mode so the laptop boots straight to Chrome OS esentially becoming a “normal” chbook again

I have in mind something like:

  1. delete everything inside the NTFS partition using the original install script or if that is not possible, plugging the drive in another PC

2)resize it to something like 1GB or less

3)exit developer mode so the laptop boots straight to ChromeOS

esentially leaving the door open to reinstall windows later if i need to but also just making it work as a regular chbook, and also being a lazy way to restore it almost to defaults , because honestly i think its quite a lot of work to truly restore it to default

Will that work or what do you think is the best course of action?

um no. edk2 maybe

perform a USB recovery, exit dev mode. Not sure how that’s “a lot of work”
