I have been trying to dual boot Windows 7 and Zorin OS 7.1 (Ubuntu 13.10 variant) on a Asus p8z68 vpro gen3. I have searched for solutions however they are confusing and/or difficult. I want to put them both on the same SSD (boot drive) but everytime the live usb says that there is no windows 7 installation even after changing my mobos settings. I have made separate partitions using both windows 7's disk manager and zorin's gparted. When using the blank partition it erased my windows master boot record and automatically installed linux's mbr instead. I need windows for solidworks unless wine can successfully run SW without any hiccups; i'm stuck. is this UEFI bs screwing linux over or there a whole new method at which this has to be done in order to dual boot? How do i go about dual booting from one drive?
