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,
ReplyDeleteI was getting exactly the same error message until turning off hyper threading in BIOS. (Lenovo T410 laptop Core I5, 8GB RAM)
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI 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..
ReplyDeleteand I'm still getting this error
