Pc needs to restart

Post by listening »

I am running Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit, latest version of VirtualBox, extension pack installed.I am trying to install Windows 10 preview as guest I get the following message, "pc needs to restart hold down the power button, error code 0x0000005D". Is there a hot key to restart it?

Thank you for any assistance :)

Select Windows 8.1 ( 64-bit ) instead of Windows 7 ( 64-bit )

Thank you, it works. I went through the entire list of Windows OS, but some how I must have missed the 8.1. Thank you again.
