Other O/S installing zorin

[aldan]

so i have downloaded and burnt zorin os6 core and want to dual boot it with windows 7.i have two 500gb hard drives.first i thought i would install zorin on my other drive and have win7 on one and zorin on the other.the installer finished but wouldnt give the prompt to reboot.i rebooted manually but when the system rebooted i could see no sign of zorin anywhere.another confusing thing is that zorin doesnt give the partitions the same names as win7 so its hard to figure where you are installing it.i went by partition size.ive tried everything i could think of and the zorin site hasnt accepted me as a member so if anyone has any ideas im all ears.Al.

There's a pretty detailed guide here Aldan. Your best bet is to install on a separate partition on the same drive. Installing dual boot across two drives can be complicated ;)
