[technologyinffo]

@8timmy1111 when you restart your computer look at the very first screen and it should tell you :) most likely delete key or F2

[zmultrin]

it says that it cant finde the boot disc when I am trying to run the setup

[ajosep12]

Thanks a lot for this clear and precise tutorial.. a lot of videos on youtube that try to "teach" you how to install virtual machines are very cumbersome, confusing, and frustrating.. you, my friend, have done an excellent job.. THANK YOU! :):):):)

[limharley1]

[technologyinffo]

@limharley1 The newest version of VirtualBOX has an option for Windows 8 so you could use that

[mamin060794]

which virtual box did you use for..MR.technoligyinfo.

/ like version...when i start the vartual box then it said to me that the virtual box error....and i can see (Interface:

IConsole {6375231a-c17c-464b-92cb-ae9e1­28d71c3}) i dont know what is this talking about....but if you have any link you could send me/email at same account..plz...thanks..

[samknul]

when i press start it says Het is niet gelukt een sessie aan te maken voor virtuele machine Win8.

AMD-V is disabled in the BIOS. (VERR_SVM_DISABLED).

[technologyinffo]

@samknul Go into the BIOS and make sure virtualizationn is on.

[samknul]

@technologyinffo but i cant find bios

[stoidipukeaw]

@samknul If you're on a Mac, you don't need to do any of that. you may or may not actually need to do it on Windows, and I doubt that you have to on (some) Linux.

[iThunz]

does not work to start the machine?

[technologyinffo]

@iThunz This is a developer Preview so there are many things that might go wrong, do you have virtualizationn on?

[iThunz]

@technologyinffo i dont know actually, how do i do that?

[technologyinffo]

@iThunz Go to the link in the description, try those steps and if it dose not work let me know

[haqzuk]

2048mb of ram

[HungKiet]

I don't have Acceleration tab

[technologyinffo]

@HungKiet Your machine might not support it.

[5up3rp3rs0n]

unable to allocate or lock memory!

[technologyinffo]

@5up3rp3rs0n This is a developer Preview so there are many things that might go wrong, do you have virtualizationn on?

[5up3rp3rs0n]

@technologyinffo with many unpause, i did that already.

[5up3rp3rs0n]

When i type windows 8 and 64 bit, two new kinds of windows poped out.

[UltraVBCodes]

When I try to start it I get an error saying "Cannot acces the kernel driver"

I have tried to reinstall everything but nothing seems to help... What can I do to fix this?

[technologyinffo]

@UltraVBCodes Make sure virtualization is on in your BIOS

[UltraVBCodes]

@technologyinffo have a tutorial for that? :S I don't know how to do that... :(

[technologyinffo]

@UltraVBCodes Go to the first link in the description,you should see a Windows 8 FAQ, it helps you do that, Let me know if you still need help.

[technologyinffo]

@UltraVBCodes This is a developer Preview so there are many things that might go wrong, do you have virtualizationn on?

[siddharthbhatia1992]

my virtual machine is requesting to restart your computer....error.... after loading files

[BlopBlue12]

Sill got errors...what willI do! :(...it stucks up at " Windows developer Preview"...it didn't show the loading dots.......it says the common error....please help :D

[funkytown489]

when it asks for version do you put your computer version or the version of win 8 your installing?

[Megaman895]

@funkytown489 Put in Windows 7, if you downloaded the 64-bit ISO image then put Windows 7 64-bit.

[ZacharyKratochwill]

Expanding Windows Files (2%) ....

Then it stopped saying something is corrupted..

[bloodyhell2699]

Can I create the new Hard Disk in D drive or E Drive?????? Because I don't have much space in C Drive

[technologyinffo]

@bloodyhell2699 Yes make sure when it asks for the path you change it there.

[UK012]

i know this might sound a little irrelivant to the video but when i try and boot up to windows 8 i get errors on a black screen telling me to turn hold down the power button. Is this a known issue or is it something outside of virtualbox and/or windows 8?

[Compaq0304]

I downloaded the 32 bit version of Windows 8 and after the boot up screen, it shuts down, what do I do?

[technologyinffo]

@GmodThingMaker Be careful Windows 8 is not even in bETA

[master233120]

I create a virtual disc, run it, then choose the windows 32bit.iso to run, it loads then says shutdown, error. please help? Does it have anything to do with my computer being vista before i upgraded it to 7?

[SPIRIT7018]

Please replace the "," with a "." after the virtualbox in the adress...

[technologyinffo]

@SPIRIT7018 Thanks for that :) It is hanged and now working

[Videoorchard]

Great video mate,very informative!whats the video editor do you use?

[wiimario360]

when I choose the windows 8 iso file it gives me this error message saying that it cant open it

[lckjosh]

sajid

[asialompat]

i can use all other apps at windows 8.. is anybody know why??

[izlude2]

Thanks for the tut my good sir :) Works very well on my setup. The astronaut game is hilarious. I'm puzzled about Vid drivers. They not supported yet? Asus 5870v2, tried installing it but it says it encounters an error and could not install.... (even through device manager)

I'm really weirded out by the whole Mango thing... I just... arg xD

[technologyinffo]

@izl Windows 7 Drivers might work On Windows 8, but both my computers they did not so we will just have to wait a little bit for them to catch up. :)

[Jdogdrums7]

mine didnt come with windows 7 64 bit compatibility so download the extension pack on the website

[IamMeUareYou]

after'windows developer preview' it says restart computer error 0x000000A



[technologyinffo]

@IamMeUareYou Are you using the latest version of virtualBox? 32 or 64 Windows 8?

[IamMeUareYou]

@technologyinffo yup and 32x/86x

[IamMeUareYou]

@technologyinffo yup and 32x

[technologyinffo]

@IamMeUareYou Can you go to your BIOS and make sure virtualization is on.

[IamMeUareYou]

@technologyinffo where that?

[technologyinffo]

@IamMeUareYou restart your computer right after windows shuts down, the first screen will most lily say press (this key) for setup or to enter BIOS. Threre no one spot the setting might be but go through easch sectionand look for virtualization.

[IamMeUareYou]

@technologyinffo which, in virtual or real PC? it will say 'windows developer preview' and then error.

[technologyinffo]

@IamMeUareYou Real PC.

[technologyinffo]

Did you thumbs up? :)

[kans4s]

I keep getting this error: amd-v is disabled in the bios

How do i fix this problem. I keep reading that I need to turn on virtualization, but I do not know how to do this....

[technologyinffo]

restart your computer and look for the key you need to press to go to setup it will be right after windows shuts down. hit that and go through the BIOS until you find virtualization.

[FriedGames]

The thing I don't like about it already is the fact it connects your email account with the program. To me that is like an invitation to hack directly into your pc. I may be wrong but I don't like that. Guess I will look into Linux and use a virtualbox for my Windows apps.

[technologyinffo]

@FriedGames It uses your Window Live account, so that settings are transfers from PC to PC. My live account is my dev account winch is a gmail.

[ghenry1074]

Thank you for the wonderful instruction on how to setup Windows 8.. Was wondering how do I get it to full screen without the the black tile around it. I have tried switch to fullscreen but still small...

[technologyinffo]

@ghenry1074 Since Windows 8 just came out none of the Virtual Machine programs don't really know what to do with it, I say in a few weeks it should get a little smoother and nice.

[technologyinffo]

@espman666 Windows has a lot of problems in virtual machine. I will be making a video showing how to install it on you computer and keep windows 7 one last thing did you make sure virtualization was enabled in your bios?

[espman666]

@technologyinffo Yeah, that was my mistake - As I stated earlier in the comments section I solved the problem. The virtualization wasn't turned on by accident because I forgot to actually save the settings. Stupid mistake but it happens. Thanks for taking the time to reply anyway, I appreciate it. Cheers!

[espman666]

Hey!

I hope you can help me out with something: I get this error as soon as I'm trying to load up the .iso file: Für die virtuelle Maschine Windows 8 konnte keine neue Sitzung eröffnet werden.

VT-x features locked or unavailable in MSR. (VERR_VMX_MSR_LOCKED_OR_DISABL­ED).
