Question

I downloaded the gparted-live-0.26.0-2-i686.iso from the Live CD page and added to my VM:

How to start GParted from its Live CD image?

Solution 1

The issue was caused by multiple images added to the VM. After I removed all the images excepting the GParted ISO, it started working.

_{After that I got another little problem: The GParted Live CD failed to continue after selecting the basic options (mode, language etc.). The solution was to enable the "EFI" option.}

Solution 2

Did you connect the .iso image to the Optical Drive in the VM and then start the VM?

Solution 3

In VirtualBox goto System and make sure the Boot Order starts with Optical. For me default was to boot from hard disk
