Prior to my install of zorin OS i had a encrypted disk (with login) prior to logging into main screen. I was using the latest mint 20.3 version. I want to fully remove encrypted disk to allow use of this distro and others down the line and avoid this issue in future.
I wanted a full blown install of zorin on my laptop so during installation choose not to do a partition. Upon completing the installation I got the notification of "DISK IS LIKELY TO FAIL SOON". I attached screenshots below
I do have gparted installed was crossing my fingers I could use this to help fix this problem.

I am hoping there is something I can do crossing my fingers. Willing do another install. Hoping I can bypass and if needed but rather not partition and have zorin just fully mounted on sd2. I been searching but haven't had any luck 
Also on side note: I have tried many distros and this so far has the best of both worlds beautiful UI and ubuntu features I am use too. Hoping to correctly fix this as I'd like to install this on my home desktop only thing holding me back is the actual install as I had to boot thru efi which I am not sure if that is normal way as other distros when using mounted usb prompt without having to go the efi route.
if there is a place to post my experience using this (besides my issue) would love to share it. Even tho core offers what I need I want to support this project by going pro. Curious how long it will be for zorin to use ubuntu 22.04 when its released in April.
