Is anyone running the Windows 8 Release Preview in VirtualBox? I've had nothing but bad luck trying to get it up and running to try it out. I can run almost every other OS I've tested but for some reason Win 8 does not like me.

With the consumer preview I had to install it using VmWare Player. I was just trying to avoid going back and forth. Or really just annoyed at not being able to get it working more than anything :rolleyes:
 
Yes, I have it running in VirtualBox.

Under the System Settings, make sure PIIX3 chipset is selected under the motherboard tab, that PAE/NX is enabled under the processor tab, and hardware virtualization is enabled under the Acceleration tab. Also make sure CPU virtualization is enabled in your BIOS.
 
Ahh hell, CPU virtualization was the one thing I forgot to check. I've been messing with my bios lately so I probably have that off. I'm guessing that's probably it. Thanks
