[RESOLVED]Problem installing Zorin on Corsair Force GS 120GB

My computers configuration:

Lenovo Desktop H530, with 12GB RAM, SSD 120GB, planned to Dual-Boot with Windows 8.1, partitioned 2GB for swap, 10GB OS (Ext4) and 5 GB Home (Ext4), Ethernet no Wi-Fi.

LiveCD works but when I try to install Zorin OS 9 there's a error message telling that there is a physical error on the hard drive and that the installation will be cancelled. Maybe my partitioning is wrong? I have disabled the secure boot in bios and installed Zorin as EFI. I had to run a manual partitioning because the installation couldn't find any free space though I have 20GB free. I have tried installing from both USB and DVD but the result are the same.

Any help are deeply appreciated.

Hi, I don't think 20 Gb is enough space to work with - how big is your hard drive? :D

I got it to work now. Had to disable a few things in bios. You can close this topic. I have solved it :)
