Hello everyone, I'm attempting to set up macOS in a VirtualBox VM. The installation tool functions correctly, but I'm having trouble choosing where to install the operating system. I've created a virtual disk with a fixed 50GB size and it appears to be recognized as a CDROM drive. In the disk utility, when I open "view all devices," it seems to treat the virtual hard disk as a CDROM, showing only 32KB of space despite the larger size. The "mount" and "partition" options aren't responding properly, which is confusing. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
