I am having troubles with installing Windows 8 on Virtualbox - I installed it once, but had to remove it and now I am trying again. However this time it freezes on

Expanding Windows Files 99%

I have tried all options, but to no avail. I have installed other VM's, like Vista, Windows 7, Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise, etc.

After a lot of waiting the installation finishes with an error

0x8007045D

I saw this error the second time I installed Windows 2008; however i just tried one more time and everything completed successfully. With Windows 8 I tried 5 or 6 times and it is always the same.

I restarted my computer, repaired and reinstalled Virtualbox, tried playing with the options of the VM (not just randomly, I followed a tutorial), I burnt a new disk and tried directly with the iso - always the same problem and I am still not able to install it.
