Hi Jim -- > Yes, you can just connect to the image and install easily. Are you kidding? :) Did you get Win8 Preview installed under Oracle Virtual Box 4.1.16 (latest official release)? I have tried and I have got: Your PC needs to restart Please hold down the pwoer button Error Code: 0x0000005D Parameters: 0x03060F06 0x756E6547 0x49656E69 ox6C65746E see: https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=49898 I have also tried to use Virtual PC on Win 7 and I have got: HAL_INITIALIZATION FAILED http://techibee.com/windows-8/windows-8-hal_initialization-failed-you-pc-ran-into-a-problem-that-it-couldnt-handle-and-now-it-needs-to-restart/1110 They say (in the above link) that Win8 Preview can be only installed on: Hyper-V in Windows 8 Developer Preview Hyper-V in Windows Server 2008 R2 VMware Workstation 8.0 for Windows VirtualBox 4.1.2 for Windows But latest official Virtual Box setup has version # 4.1.16. Should I try to get v.4.1.2 from here? http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/ http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.1.2/ Questions, questions... Or I should better purchase VMWare Worstation 8.0 license - a bit expensive but it should be a useful software not only to install Win8 Preview but for many other purposes?
