Windows 8/Server Virtualization

Did you miss this one? Try this..

Enable ugly guy with "Ctrl + Alt + Del" Welcome screen:
To get the CTRL ALT DEL-screen, press WIN + R, type control userpasswords2 and press enter.
Then check the CTRL + Alt + Del option on the second tab.

 

isnt there a button to s ctrl +alt+del in virtualbox? , dont worry , use ammy admin to interface between host and guest , it works fine for me

W8 7955 in VirtualBox critical error

hi i just downloaded W8 build 7955 from forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/26353-LEAK-Microsoft-Windows-8-pre-M3-6.2.7955.0-on-BA! (link here but i have done under 20 posts so cant post)

(the torrent one)

i installed it on VB with windows 7 settings (512mb ram, 20gb hdd, etc)

it installed alright (i think) then it rebooted as it should do but then i got an error message saying there had been a critical error and VB went into meditation guru mode

in VB before the critical error happened this came up

Virtual box works with M1

Initially I was failed to install the win 8 M1 in Virtual box.
Then I have done following things:
1. Internet enabled
2. Version - Other windows
3. No change of Display memory.

now it works.

 

that is so funny!!! "bill gates"

 

I've been running the 7955 builds as vhd (install.wim->7955.vhd via imagex/WAIK) and found most of the early Red Pill/slc.dll replacement patched voided the license for vhd use. No idea why personally, but I haven't been keen to try the Blue Pill or other patches since. The trouble always seemed to come with the slc.dll/slx.dll changes, all the other files could be edited or changed but toying with those 2 locked it out.

Anyone else trying these builds in vhd? From what I understand it's how M$ intended pre-beta builds to be tested.

Just a theory: Wasn't the early Red Pill/slc.dll from a Vista Beta build? If so that might explain why it stops working with that patch since it would be fom early/pre-vhd days. Maybe?

 

I installed this build on a vhd yesterday an applied the blue pill patch to it. No problems at all with that.

Seems to be that way.

 

Thanks for the feedback. I'll have to give the Blue Pill a go and see how it turns out.

 

I have had no luck after trying vmware or virtualbox with tweaked settings.. Is this confirmed working on a physical pc? I have an old p4 box it can go on, but i'd like to know before i wipe it out.

Thanks to the one who leaked the recent build btw.

 

I would suggest you try this first if you have a box already running Windows 7 :

windows 8 geek. com/2011/04/install-windows-8-in-a-virtual-machine-bootable-vhd/

it's worked better for me than any other option. Even my Acer Aspire One can do this with ease and it really gives the build a chance to shine.
