Uninstall Zorin

I made a mistake, I installed Zorin on the wife's HP Mini Netbook - HP-2133. I was getting away from the MS trap! I got Zorin installed and now when I boot to Zorin, the screen goes wacky! It starts getting larger and smaller. Then screen starts going black in some places. I am afraid that I am pushing the video resources or something like that. I believe I need to uninstall Zorin and install Linux Lite, as I have read that Linux Lite does well on netbooks. How can I uninstall Zorin, when the screen is acting up, going black in places as I move the mouse? Could someone please point me in the right diirection?

Hi,

try a version of Zorin OS Lite:

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=6917

To overwrite the partitions that you have, look at this install guide using the "Something Else Method":

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=4848

You just need to select to format the already exisiting partitions you already have, read it carefully!.

Let us know how you get on!.

Did you back up all the data before installing Zorin - I would do as Wolfman suggested - if all else fails I can highly recommend LXLE (http://lxle.net). Before ditching altogether, can you try the following commands at boot time?

If you installed Zorin 6 press the 'e' key to edit the boot command

If you installed Zorin 8 press the 'Tab' key to edit the boot command

Then enter:

Code:

forcevesa nolapic acpi=off nomodeset

There may also be a need to edit the vga=vendor - but not sure on this last one - will have to go back and delve some more on that one.
