Hallo I'm trying to install Win8.1 x86 on my WinXP Host. But its not working when I try to boot the Win8.1 install image and its also not working with the official Win8.1 Virtualbox image.

My CPU: "Has a NX bit Yes"

In my BIOS NX is enabled, but VB Log says:
00:00:01.300269 HM: NX not enabled on the host, unavailable to PAE guest.

NX is enabled in VB, but the log says:
00:00:01.300527 Mnemonic - Description = guest (host)
00:00:01.300546 NX - No-Execute Page Protection = 0 (1)

So, whats the problem?

Enable PAE in the guest settings under system section.
