Trenchcoat,
If you simply copied the downloaded Zorin file to your USB stick then this won't work. The downloaded file is an ISO file - a collection of very many files compressed into a single file. This needs to be expanded and organised into an "image" on a Live USB or Live DVD that can be used to try or install the OS onto your HDD.
Many DVD-writers have a facility for burning image files to DVD (eg Brasero) or to USB (Etcher-electron or Unetbootin). Etcher is good as it comes with a USB formatter...
