At boot up I am not getting an option to choose between widows and Zorin. It directly goes to Zorin. How do I get the option to choose which OS I want to tus?

Hi,

if you have no option it is a sign that you have wiped Windows and only have Zorin (Linux) installed.

When booting, press the "Esc" key quicky and another menu will appear, if Windows is not listed, you have wiped it. You can chek your partitions with Gparted once you have booted Zorin, or you can use a partiton tool to check!.

Regards Wolfman :D

If you check gparted and the win7 partition is there, open terminal and write:

Code:
sudo update-grub


and then restart.

If your windows partition is actually not wiped, you will see it as the last option in the grub menu.
