When selecting the USB drive in the boot menu that was created with MintStick my system booted into my HDD and I was greeted with my usual login for Zorin OS 9 Core as though the boot menu selection did not even recognize the USB even though it was selected to boot from. Zorin OS – Download and Installation. In order to replicate the hardware environment many XP users might be dealing with, I chose to install Zorin OS on my old Dell Pentium 4 machine (1 GB RAM) running XP, and immediately ran into a minor problem – the old Dell’s ROM drive would not recognize the Zorin OS installation DVD.

Zorin OS is a stylish Linux-based operating system that allows you to choose the look and feel of your desktop and background. For instance, if you like the look and feel of Windows 7, then you can choose the Windows 7 theme. If you prefer OSX, then you can go with the standard OSX theme.

You'll need the following to create a bootable Zorin OS USB drive:

  • A USB drive
  • Zorin OS ISO

Good day guys. First timer to this forum. I recently installed windows 8 and the interface looks really good but the performance is terible. Ive been looking for an alternative to windows. So I found zorin. The attractive interface, the speed, programs all interest me. I downloaded the iso from the official website. The x64 version. I downloaded the unetbooting to make the flash drive as the bootable device to install the zorin. On the site where I downloaded the unetbooting, has instructions. I followed them. The installation was completed and asked to reboot. I did and I accessed the bios menu and made the flash drive boot. The screen pops up with press any key to boot from usb.....
I did then, forgive my bad memory but, another message came below it saying something about the os was not found, some more info i cant remember I'll update this thread with accurate info. It also asked to press a combo of alt+cnt+del to restart. All i want is a way to safely install the zorin instead of using the sloppy windows 8.
Thanks for the help
