Can you help?
Thanks

Can you open a terminal and run lsblk what does it show?
Also double-check in your VM settings that a virtual disk was actually attached to the VM.

Hi, of course I have a vdi file for CL , it’s 15GB

Here’s the lsblk output:

What does the installer log say? It should be in /root. @mhorn

EDIT: Oh, it may not be showing because the minimum requirement is 20GB when installing with the live-desktop. Follow the guide here to install: https://docs.01.org/clearlinux/latest/get-started/virtual-machine-install/virtualbox-cl-installer.html

@puneetse You found the issue, not meeting the minimum size requirements for a desktop install. We may add a command line flag to override that for “risk takers” in the future.
