Qubes OS version:

The version I'm running is QubesOS R3.2

Affected component(s):

QubesOS doesn't recognize that I installed it. Whenever I install QubesOS, shut down and restart, it will give me this same screen:

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

I usually go through the normal installment method.

  1. "Install Qubes R3.2"
  2. Choosing the language, keyboard lay-out
  3. Choosing my installation destination (I just double check, i don't change anything inside it except that I untick "Encrypt my data").

One thing to note in that picture is that it has 1.97MiB of free space. I had 40GBs assigned to that partition before I powered it on again (so my previous install did happen and it did take up my space).

If I click on RECLAIM DISK SPACE this is the information:

So it did install, however, when restarting it just goes to this same screen:

Thank you.

Did you forget to remove the installation medium (e.g., USB drive or DVD) and/or change the device boot priority after installing?

@andrewdavidwong
There are no installation mediums in this process. As a matter of fact, I'm using VirtualBox.

Then did you detach the installation ISO?

@andrewdavidwong I just removed it and got it working! Thank you. I never removed my installation ISO on my other VM's. Will be a good habit from now on.

I'll list down the steps for users experiencing the same problem:

  1. Detach the ISO.

  2. You will be redirected into a terminal saying that it can't find the OS or something like that. Just type exit

  3. After that, you'll probably be greeted by a screen like this:

    Since it won't start up correctly I figured QubesOS must be installed, just not recognized for start up

  4. So I went to Boot Maintenance Manager

  1. Boot From File and then choose your volume label and explore to your Qubes EFI:

There we go!
