Zorin will not work or install

Hi,

I don't know what happened, but I was using Zorin 9.1 and I deleted files I shouldn't have. I MADE A BOO BOO. I decided to just reinstall Zorin 9.1. I put the DVD into the tray, rebooted, and selected to boot from the DVD as I have done in the past. I get the Blue screen with the Zorin emblem, then about 5 minutes into the boot process the screen goes blank. I watch the CD/DVD access light (and that continues to flash) for about another 5 minutes then it quits too. I move the mouse, I get nothing. I try pushing keys on the keyboard, I get nothing. I have even downloaded the [paid for] Zorin 10 Business edition - same problem. I have added memory, but the original install worked. I have a better video card, it worked with the original install but not now. I have gutted my PC and tried to install Zorin with a bare minimum system. Still nothing. What happened?

Hi when you boot, do you ever see the symbol of a man = keyboard? This should be what you see first and then press enter - this should fill up your screen with different language options with English highlighted - press Escape then press F3 to choose the correct language for your keyboard, the press Escape once more and now select F6 - alternative boot options - you may need to try each one in turn to see which will help get you booted to live mode!

Hi,

did you follow this advice when creating your boot media?:
