i want to install zorin alongside windows but i'm installing it on a second hard drive. would the procedure still be..... "Erase disk and install Zorin" and press "Install Now"?
@jabongzki Hi and welcome to the Forum.
You do not have to completely erase the disk if you do not want to. You could shrink the existing partion (assume just one) and create space for a second primary partition for ZorinOS.
When Installing Zorin, use the "Something Else" method, which allows you to select that specific drive.
It has been done before, see this: Install Zorin on 2nd physical HD
Also from the old Zorin Forum: Setting up for Dual Hard Drives [Solved} - Old Zorin Forum archive
if i shrink the existing partion and create space for a second primary partition for ZorinOS, what do i use the first primary partition for?
Some suggestions:
- Partitioning: How to partition
- If you need installation media (doesn’t seem like you do but offering my 2 cents): Casper / vmlinuz not found - #7 by carmar
ok, but im installing it on a desktop pc. is there no need to turn off fast boot on windows on a desktop pc?
337harvey, you wrote....
Power settings -> choose what happens when I close the lid [on left]
-> change settings that are not available [button in main window at top/middle]
-> scroll down after allowing windows to change things and
uncheck fast boot.
i just cant find the "choose what happens when I close the lid" setting on power.
theres no battery on my systray. btw, im using a desktop pc.
