I have installed many, many distros. In fact, the machine I'm using has both Zorin OS 15 Core and Zorin OS 15 Ultimate on it. I am attempting to install Zorin OS 15 Lite on a new partition.
Machine: System76 Kudu 3, 500 Gb hard disk, 16 Gb RAM, i7 processor, Intel video.
I selected "Install alongside these" and, after a few moments, was told it was unsuccessful creating the new partition.
I selected "Do something else", created the partition and formatted it, started the installation process, and the installer crashed, with an Error 5 message which stated that this usually meant a bad CD or a dirty lens on the CD drive. Interesting, as I am using a USB stick for this installation.
I booted back into Zorin OS 15 Ultimate and downloaded GPartEd, created the partition and formatted it. I then rebooted with the USB stick and went through the process again, and got the same Error 5 when I got to that point.
So what now? The stick is good (has been used successfully more than once, was formatted before installing the ISO to it), the download appears to be good, but I can't get it installed.
