I'm trying to install Window 8 on a VirtualBox but when it starts I get an error message:
You have to restart your PC
Along with the errorcode 0x0000005D
.
After searching on the internet I found out that it has something to do with Virtualization in my BIOS, but I don't have that option in my BIOS and I think don't have it at all. The weird thing is that my host OS is Windows 8.1 and it runs without errors.
So how can I run Windows 8 on my VirtualBox without Virtualization?
I just had this same error when installing the Windows 10 preview. From what I read you need to enable Data Execution Prevention in your BIOS, but as you are running Windows 8 this must already be enabled.
The setting that made things work for me was switching "Enable Nested Paging" to off. (Under System > Acceleration).
