Brujo,
¿Estás instalando Zorin junto a Windows como arranque dual? O, ¿estás instalando sólo Zorin y eliminando de Windows?

Sí, aunque son dos discos distintos. donde tengo windows es una ssd de 500 gb, y donde quiero meter zorin os, es un disco duro de 48 gb aprox. algún consejo?
de igual manera he sacado la m2 que es la ssd y tpco eh podido instalarlo.

yes. although they are two different discs. where I have windows in a ssd of 500 gb, and where I want to install zorin os is a regular disck, is a hard disk of 48 gb approx. any advice?
btw I have removed the m2 that is the ssd and so I could not install it.

Zorin OS 12? Zorin OS 15?
I Have not installed 15. I am using 12.4 Core edition. I know many people had a lot of trouble installing from USB. I was unable and finally installed from cd in disc drive. I was also unable to install Linux Mint from USB. Ubuntu, as well. It is not just Zorin.
Swarfendor and Zorinantwerp have both helped many people troubleshoot this issue in many threads and I cannot remember all the advice they gave... But first, I suggest that if you have the ability to burn a cd copy and install, that would be the easiest.

[English: I think your issue lies in the fact that you have left Windows Boot Manager as first option - change this to your USB boot drive instead. I noticed that you have an ASUS notebook - does the BIOS have 'Advanced' option as opposed to 'Easy'? Also checkout the unofficial manual translated into Spanish by pcfan5 here:]

Creo que su problema radica en el hecho de que usted ha dejado Windows Boot Manager como primera opción-cambiar esto a su unidad de arranque USB en su lugar. Noté que tienes un portátil ASUS-¿el BIOS tiene la opción ' Advanced ' en contraposición a ' Easy '? También Checkout el manual no oficial traducido al español por pcfan5 aquí:
