Installing Zorin on Windows XP

Hi - after a frustrating time installing Zorin i wanted to post this quick tip for anyone upgrading from Windows XP to Zorin - an excellent choice. The docs won't tell you this so this will save you some time:

Download Zorin ISO and Netbootin onto desktop http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
Run Netbootin, have it load the zorin ISO you downloaded to the memory stick as bootable
Have Netbootin load the zorin ISO you downloaded to the C: disk along with the boot manager - will not affect Windows running
reboot into UNetbootin and you will be running the Zorin from the memory stick
click install - choose to replace windows or dual boot
done

My older machines both refused to boot from USB OR CDROM so i was stuck till i figured out this path, which is easier than anything i have seen yet described. thanks!
