Hi am getting an error while i try to install the OS. I am first time user so i got no idea what am doing wrong. BTW i get this error

I found a way to fixed this error by not checking the Encrypt my home folder check box during the installation.

First of all make sure that the iso you downloaded has been checked for errors and that you have burned it into a DVD using the lowest possible speed.

Try then to install the OS not by entering into live mode, but by selecting the 3rd option during boot (i.e. the one that says "start the installer directly).

Didnt get around to trying with update options deselected but if multibooting linux in extended partition try booting from another OS and from terminal:

sudo update-grub

then select Zorin when listed in new boot menu after reboot.

After trying several times unsuccessfully with disk this worked for me. The installation seems to be intact before installer crashes and updates normally once booted (well worth persevering for a very nice user friendly stable OS).
