Hi fern,

here is a complete guide for installing with Windows:

viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1658

When you burnt the disk, did you do so at the slowest possible speed, if you didn't; you will have read/write errors on the disk!!.

If you are okay with partitioining, you can pre-format your drives and choose something else when you start the installer and it asks you where you want to put Zorin!!.

Mr.Wolfman, thank you for the response, have Zorin installed and running fine along Vista and Ubuntu 12.4, however there are three files with a red x Lost&Found,vmLinux and root and have checked those in the Ubuntu file system and there all files are fine no red x. For now I am enjoying the new OS. Again Thank You and the Team! How to make contribution and keep you guys going?
