issue starting Whonix - gave up waiting for root device

Hi, apologies if this is in the wrong section. I have tried to install whonix multiple times and keep getting the same result shown below… any ideas how I might fix this? thanks.

Good day,

Sorry but did you verify Whonix? Adding to that, is this error found both on the Gateway and Workstation or just on one of the two?

Have a nice day,

Ego

Thanks for the quick reply, yes I ensured it was the full installer and yes the issue appears in both virtual machines.

UPDATE: I just tried again after writing this post and for some reason the installation is working. I didnt change any settings.
