That means that my USB drive would not boot on any computer I plug it to except for the one I installed it from.
I could get rid of this thing by changing the boot priority in my UEFI/BIOS, increasing the priority of Windows Boot Manager.īut this means that something was installed on my laptop and not on my USB drive! And when I tried to boot from the USB drive on my other older laptop (it has no UEFI, by the way), it just displayed a message like "No operating system found" and booted from the hard drive then. However, if I plug the USB drive out and then turn on the laptop, it opens the Linux GRUB again but this time it's like a console. I seemed to be stuck in this endless loop, then decided to pull out the USB and restart. After finishing the installation, I tested it and it worked! When I turn on my laptop, the BIOS loads up, followed by Zorin's boot options thing (The thing that allows you to choose Windows or Zorin etc., a GUI GRUB?) and I was able to boot from the Zorin OS I installed on my USB drive. I hit restart and then the same screen popped up showing the 3 options (try zorin OS without installing / install zorin in OS / Check disc for defects) same as when I booted from USB at the beginning of the installation process. It was a 32 GB USB drive of which I formatted 16 GB as ext4 for the Linux installation and 16 GB as FAT32 so that I can use it as a normal USB drive too. Then I booted from it, and installed Zorin on a different USB drive. Hi, also click on the links in this section of the link I posted earlier if you want a persistent install to a USB stick: 'For persistent installation on a USB stick, please see here:' Heres the link again: viewtopic.phpf6&t7171&p34209p34209.
I downloaded the ISO for Zorin OS 15 (based on Ubuntu), flashed it to one of my USB drives using Balena Etcher. Then plug your USB drive into your computer and select it in Etcher.
First, select the disk image you just downloaded from the Zorin OS 16 Pro ISO Download link. Here's some background info so you have a clearer picture of what I've done: Once the download is complete, you’ll have to put that disk image onto a USB flash drive using Etcher. If you wish to create a laptop icon (encouraged) depart the box checked and click subsequent. Pick out wherein to create the begin menu folder and click next.
Anyone with knowledge especially of Asus VivoPC would be most welcome.I've seen Anthony do this so I'm sure it's possible, but I need some guidance because I don't know how Linux works (I want to learn more about it!). Choose wherein to install win32 disk imager by means of clicking browse and deciding on a region and click subsequent. Once you restart your system, you will see the screen as shown below. Change our system settings to boot using an USB disk and restart your system. Once you have downloaded Zorin OS 15, copy the ISO into an USB disk and create a bootable disk. It is based on Ubuntu which is the most popular Linux operating system in the world and is a popular Operating System in the OS & Utilities category. Step 1) Create Zorin OS 15 Bootable USB Disk. I would love to have this up and running soon. Zorin OS is described as multi-functional operating system designed specifically for Windows users who want to have easy and smooth access to Linux. What do I do? I am extremely new to Linux and so am trying many different configurations of it.
Its as if Zorin isn't even installed on the USB! When I reboot it gives me a message about there being nothing bootable that is detected.
It seems as if, even after installing Zorin onto the USB using different software that the computer doesnt recognize that there is a bootable USB upon restarting the computer. After following many guides on what programs to use to install Zorin onto a USB stick, it will not boot, no matter how I alter the BIOS.Ģ. Thanks to Toms Hardware, earlier I was able to get a copy of TAILS up and running on my Asus. Here is the problems I am running into:ġ. This computer does not come with a media drive, so I cannot follow the recommended instructions by installing Zorin first onto a DVD. I am having trouble installing Zorin OS 9 and running it on my Asus Vivo PC.
