So as per instruction my fast start on windows is turned of, secure boot is off.
then i try installing zorin os alongside windows and i got an error, but it says that installer will try instaling zorin anyway.
but nothing happes, the dueal system boot does not appear.
I tried redownloding and redoing the boot device but still nothing.
Should i use rufus instead of belana etcher?
or what can be the problem?
Can you please take a photo of the error or do you know what the message of the error was?
What computer do you have (brand, model)? Do you have a legacy BIOS or UEFI?
Do you see "ubuntu" in your BIOS/UEFI?
I am on self build PC:
RAM:
Mainboard:
CPU:
Power:
SSD:
Yes I saw ubuntu few times during installation.
The Zorin OS installer should run a diagnostic check when you first try to run it, and so in theory this shouldn't matter that much if everything goes well. However, Balena Etcher is known to have cause issues before, including breaking the USB device itself, so I'd suggest trying Rufus instead just to be on the safe side.
How far in the installation process do you get? Are you able to choose the option to install Zorin OS alongside Windows?
yes, and I even was able to select and format the partition.
this error is after files being copied or during the copy.
Did You installed it with an Internet Connection? If yes, try it offline.
