I have gateway laptop with 156gig hard drive, AMD 64 processor and ati video. I downloaded the 32bit just to be on safe side. So here's problem sometimes it locks up with live cd and I tried install and it hangs at the very end of almost finished message. I mean locks hard can't do anything but reboot. Any ideas please let me know I'm not at the machine right now but can give more specifics on hardware when I get home in few hours thx

Hi,
did you follow this advice when creating your Live boot media?:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4771Have you tried changing any of the boot options, press the "
Tab" key when you see the Zorin menu and type "
nomodeset" and then press "Enter" twice and see if it still cannot boot!.

Loading live cd worked Im thinking the cd rom at times quits reading for what ever the reason. I did try ever setting on the menu but no luck I was able to get Debian lxde to load on hard drive but I also had trouble on the first attempt. I'm Going to try to see if I can load from usb. When I get more time to play
