I was using a tool called Unetbootin to instal the .iso file for Zorin to my external hard drive, only to find out that the letter for my drive does not show up in the list of drives that I can install the .iso file to. Formatting the Hard drive didn't help, neither did creating an entirely new partition. I have a few ideas for why this should be happening. I think it may be due to the NTFS format system of the drive. Though, I doubt this one, as I had the option to instal it to my primary (c://) drive, which uses the same formatting system. I also think that the particular letter (for some reason, the letter assigned was "j") may have something to do with it, as it's a very uncommon letter for a drive. Finally, I noticed while trying to get Zorin working on my USB drive to make sure everything works, I noticed that my external hard drive seemed to be categorized with my CD and floppy(this is an old computer I'm using) drive in sub categories for the boot order. I worry that the reason the tool isn't working is because my system thinks my external hard drive is an external disk drive.
Though, all three of my theories could be horribly wrong. That's why I'm asking what the problem might be and how to fix it. I'll try to provide any additional information that might be necessary upon request.
