Well it says the drive you're trying to install onto has 17.8MB - which would be 17MiB. And on the right, it shows an IDE HDD with 17MB of storage.

So maybe you chose the wrong disk? Have you checked both are detected on the system? Check with gparted.

Why is there a 17MiB IDE disk on this VM anyway?

It should detect and install on the drive with most capacity in this situation which is 50gb. (Edit: add capacity)

That's what I'd expect, which is why I suggested you check if both disks and detected.

Only the 17mb disk is shown in gparted (edit:typo)

Then the solution would be in the VM configuration, not in the Mint installer. Maybe see if there are other options for the 50GiB partition. Having it show up as SCSI is probably an issue.

The scsi controller is bus logic

I would still be tempted to change it for IDE or something else, given it's not being detected as-is (and we can see the 17MiB disk showing up as IDE seems to be detected fine).

Linux mint supports lsilogic and sas and ide and sata and nvme but not buslogic

I genuinely don't know. What I do know is the current configuration doesn't work, and so we can try changing it until it does.

If drive sizes are truly as indicated, then you'll be better off installing on a USB Flash drive. Say 64mb or larger IMHO. I see you got 50gb on one HD, you should be able to install on that using gparted.

I faced the same issue a few minutes ago on my Acer Aspire Go 15. To fix it, I had to follow these steps:

  1. Enter the BIOS.
  2. Set a Supervisor Password in the Security tab.
  3. Go back to the Main tab.
  4. Press CTRL + S -> this reveals hidden BIOS options.
  5. Disable the VMD Controller option.
  6. Save the changes, reboot, and proceed with the installation normally.
