[SOLVED] Problem with partition

Hi,

I'm trying to install Zorin on my HP laptop. I downloaded the iso file, created a live USB, started the installation by double-clicking the icon...all good so far. But then the installer doesn't give me the option to install Zorin alongside Windows 7, it only gives me two options: delete windows 7 or something else. So, I chose something else, probably messed up the partition a little bit, didn't delete anything and quit. Now I can't boot into Windows anymore I can only boot in Zorin with the live USB.
I've attached a screenshot of my gparted. Could anyone please help me by either explaining to me how to do the partition or how to manage to boot into windows again? It would be truly appreciated!

Thanks

Hi,

Hey guys,

Thanks so much! Problem solved! I successfully installed Zorin but still couldn't boot into windows so I had to re-install windows which deleted Zorin (!) and then I carefully followed swarfendor437's how-to and finally have both installed. Now if that causes overheating I'll cool it down with my tears - I don't want to go through this again

And no worries Wolfman I found the link on partitioning

very helpful and well written!

Thanks again - I truly appreciate your help! You're the best!

Swarf's "how-tos" is the safest way to go.
Glad you got it fixed!

Hi,

Glad to hear you got it sorted!!.

Sorry about not posting the partitioning link but it is in the How-To section and a very good one!!.

Swarf's How-To is of course also very good for beginners!!
