Hello I was trying to install ubuntu on my VM and when I got to the installation type I saw that everyone choose "erase disk and install ubuntu" but I wasn't sure what it is going to erase, The whole dedicated disk I installed the VM on or the folder that located on the dedicated disk. I saw that more people asked this question but I didn't understand the terms they used. Thanks to everyone who answer

1Go ahead and choose "erase disk and install ubuntu". It will install Ubuntu in the whole virtual image dedicated to the VM. In a real install (outside VM), that option would format the hard drive and install Ubuntu, but in a VM it is safe. – Archisman Panigrahi Jul 23 '21 at 11:16

virtual folder means the folder on the dedicated disk that the VM located on? – zazi bazazi Jul 23 '21 at 11:26

Does this answer your question? Does "Erase Disk and Install Ubuntu" replace the default boot screen? – karel Jul 24 '21 at 07:08
