How to deal with the error when loading Win8 into VirtualBox

  
Since the introduction of Win8, a series of new features and features have been introduced, such as the new Metro interface, Metro style application, new task manager, Ribbon-style resource manager, easier-to-use system recovery and restore function, etc. I want to experience Win8. Many friends downloaded the ISO image of Win8 for the first time and installed it using VirtualBox virtual machine, but there was Error code: 0xc0000260 on the way. How to deal with this?

After searching, 0xc0000260 installation error is caused by virtual machine configuration in VirtualBox, the solution is as follows:
1, open Win8 virtual machine configuration interface, in [system - Processor] Configuration page, check the [Enable PAE/NX] extension feature. When enabled, the Physical Extended Address (PAE) feature on the computer will be passed to the virtual machine.

2. On the [Display - Graphics] configuration page, check [Enable 3D Acceleration] and [Enable 2D Video Acceleration] so that the virtual computer will be able to use the video acceleration capability of the graphics card.

With the above 2-step settings, we will complete the operation and then re-install. If you encounter a 0xc0000260 error, you can try this method. After the installation is complete, you can experience the Win8 system for a while.
