Hi,

in your mail you said you have Win8 and that you were given the option to erase and use entire disk, if you have no options; I fear that that is what you have done!!, do you have a menu at all or does it boot straight into Zorin!!??.

Please see these How-To's:

I read that Win8 have a feature that does not allow you to install in dual boot a linux OS!

Hi,

if you have the recovery disk for your PC, might I suggest you start from scratch and restore Windows first then install Linux following the how-to's posted earlier!!.

@MV, here is a snippet about UEFI:
