You can also install Windows 8 on Oracle's Virtualbox , which is completely free. Originally posted by ichihaifu: You can also install Windows 8 on Oracle's Virtualbox , which is completely free. Yep, but I tried VirtualBox several times Tuesday night, kept getting internal error and when I had a look around I didn't seem to be the only one, so I went with VMware instead.
Installing now. Just happened to get a full lic copy of VMware from my School. Real nice setup. Every time I try this on a VM workstation or from a burnt dvd onto a Blank disc partition I always get the error No device drivers found This is for an install area? Any thoughts or suggestions? Thx No device drivers found. Hmm, when exactly would you get that? After installating? Before installation? Yep that seems to be the report from around the web really.
You have to also make sure that the bios has VM enabled otherwise it wont work on most machines as it comes with it disabled from factory. Thx That means the downloaded disk image is corrupted, re download it. I have the same error, this error ocurre before installation, on after screen " Language, Time and Currency Format and Keyboard or input method", i tried load default drivers for VMware but no ok.
Any idea? Works great! To install Virtual Box's equiv to VMware tools, you open the mounted ISO for that in Computer, and browse to exe file for installation, and right click choose properties, set the comparability to Windows 7. Worked like a charm for me. To get audio and network working you need to change the virtual network adapter to Intel , and audio to Intel.
That is it. I should note I had performance issues with Virtual Box, so I opted to upgrade my VMware workstation from 7 to 8 so this is why I cam across this guide. Figured I'd post this information for those that don't have the money for VMware workstation or already have existing VMs in Virtual Box and want to go that route.
This message has been edited since its posting. Latest edit was made on 15 Sep Local install, no VM. I installed with a live account.
I also created new accounts. Thanks a ton, guys. I didn't do anything special, just selected win 7x64 as guest OS and loaded Win8 per the instructions above.
Spoke too soon. The OS works fine without. Looks cool. Rest of the tile doesn't respond, is this fine? When I install something new, the tile appears and works fine. Runs slowly though - the small metro apps often max out the CPU. No joy at all with VMWare 6. Time to upgrade methinks. I got mine loaded up right off a 40GB hard drive, its unpolished but if they add some things to make finding the installed programs easier, I love the reinstall without losing your programs option , dose WIN 7 have anything like that?
Copyright infringement is nothing more than civil disobedience to a bad set of laws. Lets renegotiate them. Thanks for the tutorial. D': What should I do? I'm using the x64 iso. If something is worth of doing then it's worth of doing well! I cannot install 32bit the system said cannot connect to virtual..

I would use VMware cuz is good for fullscreen. You know VtBox didn't have a problem, maybe u didnt select the 4 processors. So what have we learned from this? That a new version of windows fails at basic driver support? Originally posted by WvuSoldier: So what have we learned from this?
Not sure where I went wrong. I have the X64bit version, should I download the 32bit version? Or is there a tool to check to see if it downloaded right? I have an HP pavilion dvus if that helps. I just got windows 8 on my Virtual Machine of Vmware workstation 8. It was pritty cool because the computer does not support virtuallation I guest or something but the installion works on it.
But it a Dell Vostro with Intel core 2 Inside But it looks like it should run that but ya it running awsomely I love it. But leave any comment about this comment if you want to. Send me a message travisbrown math. Never mind it deed not work. I guest I cant run Virtuallation on my computer it kind of sucks because it installed it the whole getout and it restarted and it keep telling me something happen and need to restart computer or something. And I deed not know what was going on it was kind of stuped I guest.
But what ever I guest I need a big and fully and that support virtualation I guest. But it not a whole lost I have windows 8 on my netbook it is working greate and am writing tbis blog or comment on windows 8 development preview right know it kind of cool I love it.
But I just dont know why it not working on my other computer it has a intel core 2 and it has 2GB of RAM it run windows 7 and it should run windows 8 Development Preview but what ever right it kind of stuped. I did mostly like above, but first installation was done as Other os 64bit. Install and wait for crash. Shut down and change other os to win 7 64bit. Boot from dvd and install again. Format bigger partition but leave smaller untouched.
Install to formatted partition. Now you should have working win8. Thanks so much. Hi, Im a computer user whos blind and use Vmware Workstation. When installing can you run Narator on instilation for a talking installer? Reocmmended settings, e. Do you press "enter first before installing? I downloaded the bit version. Virtual Box kept giving me problems regarding the hardware assisted virtualisation being disabled. VMware isn't giving me that problem.
And regarding VMware being a paid software and not a free one, you can always get a pirated copy on the internet. The tutorial works the same for Windows 8 Customer Preview x64 as well.
Thanks for this. Worked like a charm. I am however using this for the consumer preview that just came out. Firstly thanks for this valuable information.. But i wanna ask that how i can upgrade my win7 to win8? Hi Before I embark on this.. I just wondered what people think?
If you get a memory error on the first install screen, go into Settings, System, Acceleration tab. Un-tick 'Enable Nested Paging'.
