Recommended Posts

Downloaded 32 bit version (2GB) yesterday but couldn't install on VMWare & Virtual BOX as it seems to needs hardware virtualization switched on in bios (& supported in CPU)

Will try it on desktop tomorrow. Laptop already has 4 partitions with 3 OS's so can't meddle with it any more specially with such early release things.

@ Ami

Windows 8 will not work if your processor does not support Virtualization Technology

also V Box first need to create am image and then install there are few more settings to do - i was reading guide, havent tried vmware

Go to http://www.hwinfo.com/download32.html & download.

Install, Run it as Administrator if using vista / Win7. Keep 'Sensors Only' unchecked & Run.

Check VMX (Intel) / SVM (AMD) is green.

Unzip and run this file. havdetectiontool.zip

Or download it from microsoft.com ( link )

Though my laptop supports hardware virtualization virtualbox is still giving an error which is supposed to be due to absence of VT

used in my office PC (Dev ed 5GB) for a Day, and found overloading CPU after few heavy usage.

working nice @ Virtual Box.

I was impressed by the advanced task manager and File copy/move window.

and few more enterprise related work-flows are properly streamlined in this OS.
