Now at this point before I pressed install, I still wanted to seperate my 2 harddrives (one with windows, other with zorin). Using all those programs (xboot, unetbootin, rufus, universal usb) was unnecessary, a simple Iso extractor like PowerIso or 7zip extract to usb works great. Did that, plugged it in my emachines and it load fine, unlike before. Durning burn I thought why not just use PowerIso to extract Z OS 9 Iso to usb. So I went to re-download Z OS9 64 carefully re-burning to disc. Put them in my emachines and 32bit loaded and 64 bit loaded but would not install claiming disc error, but I didnt want 32 bit. I used PowerIso on my HP PC to burn Zorin OS 9 64bit and 32 bits at lowest setting of 6x to disc with verify written data, success both times.
So here is how it works, I had another crapped out emachines so I took out the old cddrive (CD-RW, DVD-R) and placed it in the other one. My blank hard drive I used for Zorin OS 9. This is my first Linux distribution, I never had it installed before, I have Windows 7 64 bit (fairly old emachines 8gb ram installed only capable of using 4gb, on board gpu ati radeon xpress 200, Amd Athlon 64 processor 3500+) and 2 Hard drives, all standard nothing too fancy. I don't know how well this will work for anyone else. I almost quit and was heading to Ubuntu because of the limited support (Thank the people who tried).
So for the people who are on WINDOWS systems and looking at all the misinformation out there, I figured this out.
