VB 4.0.12; Host Windows 7 Ultimate.
Installing Windows 8 Beta I get as far as 'Windows Developer Preview' then comes the flashing black screen with 0xFFFFFFE6 error messages.
Do I need a BIOS with Hardware Virtualization Technology or just a later version of Virtual Box?

Re: Windows 8 BIOS Virtualization
The first thing you need to do is update to Virtualbox 4.1.2. AFAIK no one has been able to get it to run in anything earlier and 4.1.x
I have hardware VT enabled but I don't know if it makes a difference.
