After creating a recovery USB for Google Chrome OS flex through Chrome Recovery Utility, i try to create an iso from the usb drive and place it on Ventoy, but it does not boot from Ventoy.

Chrome OS Flex does not use a standard ISO image, and the "installation USB image" is a complete installation, as it would be on a hard drive, I'm not sure ventoy is compatible with an image of this type

Just download Chrome OS Flex bin file and change the suffix from .bin to .img and put it to Ventoy to boot.

How to download the bin file? I've only used the chrome recovery tool which only allows flashing a drive..
