Downloaded the Windows 8 developers preview yesterday but only to find I could not get it installed on a Oracle Virtualbox. I tried both 32-bit and 64 bit version on a Win 7 64 bit machine(HP EliteBook 8440p). The 32-bit got stuck at the following screen. I need to look for help on this error 0x81B8C63B
EDIT: From "Smiley"'s comments below, after I turned the Virtualization option ON from the BIOS menu at startup, I was able to install windows 8. Thanks.
Surprisingly, I have a Ubuntu virtual machine and it runs fine without turning on the Vitualization option.

Hello,
I was getting exactly the same error message until turning off hyper threading in BIOS. (Lenovo T410 laptop Core I5, 8GB RAM)
Hi,
I had the same error, was finally able to get it working.
Smiley's comment led me to the BIOS, and I found that Intel Virtualization was not turned on. I turned it ON, and then went back into windows, and now everything works - Windows 8 is loading in Virtual Box just fine now.
I've turned off hyere threading in the Bios.. in virtual box settings I've set IO APIC, PAE/NX both on..
and I'm still getting this error
