[RESOLVED] Install Zorin OS 9 on Macbook 3,1

I am attempting to install Zorin 9 OS on a MacBook 3,1 ( late 2007 model ). I noticed this OS is built upon Ubuntu 14.04. I have had no problems installing Ubuntu version on my MacBook 3,1. From version 12.04 up until 15.10. Yet, when I attempt to install Zorin OS 9 or even Zorin OS 10, the USB does not boot. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I already have installed refit on the unit, this is what was needed to get the various Ubuntu OS version installed. I really would like to try Zorin OS 9 or even Zorin OS 10. I am hoping someone would have some input and or instruction I can follow to make this happen. Thank you in advance for any input and or help.

Hi, and welcome! I am no Mac user but rEFIt is now a dead project. You should be using rEFInd instead.

Hello Swarfendor437,

Just wanted to follow up with you. First, thanks for the advice. I had been attempting to install Zorin OS using a USB. After many failed attempts on this MacBook, I went out and purchased some DVR's. I burned the image using my Win7 machine at the slowest speed possible, 1x burning speed. Then popped it into my MacBook and it installed without a hitch. I had already configured the machine using rEFIt to get Xubuntu 15.10 running, so I did not need to do any additional changes. I just kept the same partition tables and formatted the ones already set-up. I am now using Zorin OS 9 as I had wanted to from the start. Again, thanks for the advice on using rEFInd though.

Great going! Now that you mention usb, did you fully format to FAT32? I am aware you cannot do this in Windows 7 but GParted that comes with Zorin can do this!

Glad you are finally sorted - will mark as [RESOLVED].
