Hi Shamil: I am sorry to hear that. I have read many articles showing how easy it is to do. Unfortunately, I haven't had the time to do that...maybe this father's day I might get a chance to test an install. The only person who I know who got a stable install was Hans and he was doing it on his Mac. Before you run out and buy something expensive let me give it a try and see how it goes. Jim PS: Did you make sure the PCs virtualization was turned on as it is not turned on by default? http://www.sysprobs.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/virt_bios.gif -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Salakhetdinov Shamil Sent: Sunday, June 17, 2012 10:47 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] OT: Win8 Preview (32bit) on Oracle Virtual Box (32bit) or VMWare Workstation 8 (32bit)? 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?
