Stuck at 'preparing to install Zorin' step

Hello everyone!

I've been trying to install Zorin on my computers (dual boot windows 7 starter for the netbook, windows 7 pro for the desktop) : on the laptop it worked fine, the installation was quick but my desktop just won't pass the "preparing to install Zorin" step (and I've been patient, I am now waiting for more than 3 hours...). I've used the same live usb for both. I also tried the 64 bit version since I have a core i3 processor but without any success.

I tried the safe graphic mode but I dont know how to install linux in command mode so I gave up pretty quick before completely messing things up.

I would give more info but I don't really know what you need...

Any ideas?

(also, english isn't my first language so I'm sorry if I'm not being clear)

EDIT : I don't know if it's useful but I had no trouble installing ubuntu 11.10 on the same computer.

EDIT² : Alright, I should have thought of that after windows 7. It seems Zorin has the same trouble with multiple discs. I just unplugged thoses I didn't need for the install. Funny, ubuntu had no problem.
