But on sdb2 I cannot see a /home partition
most of the sdb2 drive looks like it is unused (only 15Gb of 118Gb used). That does not look right.
If you click on the sdb2 ext4 partition, does that show anything more.
It is a fresh install, so that size looks normal to me
Here is the screenshot of the folders on the SSD, sdb1.
This is the information from Disks:
Notice the mount point of the HDD, sda1
When You use only the / as a Mounting Point then all lands in this. Then there is no extra /home Partition.
That looks good for me, too. These are the same Folders like on the oter Picture - including the Swap File.
So, now the Question would be: Is the Stuff on Your HDD only a Rest that can be deleted ...
I see here 2 Things that could happen:
- You delete the HDD and reformat it and all is good, no Problem.
- You delete the HDD and Your System is broke.
Would You take the Risk to delete the HDD and if it really breaks, make a fresh Install of Zorin?
Another option I see:
- Unmount and format the HDD.
- Shut down the laptop and physically remove the HDD.
- Start the computer and reinstall if required.
I have gone ahead with this process and am now in the process of reinstalling Zorin on the SSD after removing the HDD and resetting the battery management system to unfreeze HDD0.
Boot Repair was not happy with the lack of a mount for the SSD so erasure and reinstallation seemed the only option.
I will then return to retrace my steps in the bios to be able to boot into Zorin.
And here we are with a fresh and working install. The HDD will find a home in an enclosure and become an external drive.

I installed Zorin on my Acer 523 laptop without hassles. I just specified “Legacy” boot. Works well.
Specs…
AMD A9410, 8G RAM, 128G SSD, 2T HDD.
