How To Repair Zorin OS Without Losing Data

Still iso is downloading so after download and makes pendrive bootable I will connect again

I strongly recommend you verify the checksum once the download is complete.

Now what I have to choose

@carmar what's next?

Your a funny person. You installed ubuntu 21.10 + Zorin OS 16 on your machine and yet you still ask on the installation menu what you need to do.

I know why people here put many question. They are thinking we are searching engine "google" - please first use a taskbar and check if question was before also with older forum Zorin. Just kidding without questions that forum could be died?

I thought carmar explain it quite clearly what to do.
The important thing is for /home partition uncheck the tickbox that says "Format".
His /home partition should then remain intact.

I wish people would take time and read instructions. We cannot always spend lots of time here doing interactive step-by-step posts.

@Dixit The real "Solution" is post #3 by carmar. I simply repeated what he said there.

Please get into a habit to backup your /home partition regularly. That way your personal files and data should be protected from disasters.

I could say see the link in post #8, but that just prolongs the pain. :smiley:
I think that is enough jocularity for one thread. Let's just sneak off quietly and deal with some others.

Then try reading this, as it is clear from the responses nobody is going to sit here and give you blow by blow directions. Google is your friend, along with taking 5 minutes of reading.

@Bourne I edited your post to correct the link that was incorrectly pointing to my post #21 concerning hydrogen peroxide, rather than your post #22. Unless you are wishing to refer to alternative ladies hair colouring again here :wink:

@Dixit , many members here are volunteering available time as often as possible. It is understandable that you fear certain risks on your personal machine. Building your own self-confidence and increasing your understanding of the system will help you to minimize risks and take a more aggressive approach toward regaining control over that which you own.

@Michel encouraging the above is better served by encouraging confidence in the user, not in off-remarks or odd pictures of a goofy pear.
Many users unfamiliar with a system may feel like they are grasping in the dark. The solution is to Teach, not to enable simplicity nor to belittle.
