Multiple OS Computing with Virtualbox

just having a play with Virtualbox

got 3 operating system running at the same time
xp as main
windows 7 and ubuntu running in virtualbox
all working good see pic

but i cant get windows 8 working keep getting this error

[Cod3waX]

its coz the virtualbox program need to be updated proberly

try installing virtualbox on 8 then work backwards

[davvo]

seems my cpu is crap and a bios setting needs to changed
which the bios dont have

To resolve this error, follow manufacturer guidelines to enable NX (No eXecute bit), or the equivalent XD (eXecute Disabled) feature, within the BIOS security settings.

have u tried VMware?
VMware United Kingdom - Virtualization Software for Desktops

[davvo]

yeah same error
NX needs to be enabled in the bios
to install windows 8
my bios has not got that option

will wait till some bright spark rips the iso
and removes the nx check
