Sep 04, 2020 After completing the installation process, open the VirtualBox on your PC. Now, click on to New option to create a new Virtual OS for your PC which will be installed on it as a Windows 8.1 OS. Step 3: Make sure to pick a proper OS regarding your requirements. Click on to the Microsoft Windows option and then Windows 8.1. Here is my video tutorial on how to install Windows 8.1 in Virtualbox!Virtualbox:8.1 ISO Download Page:https.
Portable-VirtualBox is a free and open source software tool that lets you run any operating system from a usb stick without separate installation.
Installation instructions
- Download and run Portable-VirtualBox_v5.1.22-Starter_v6.4.10-Win_all.exe.
- Choose a folder to extract to.
- Go to the folder and run Portable-VirtualBox.exe. You'll see a window like the one below:
- If you have already downloaded the installer for VirtualBox from www.virtualbox.org click search and navigate to the file. If not, click 'Download The Installation Files of VirtualBox.' Portable-VirtualBox will show you the download's progress.
- Once the installer is download, check the boxes that are appropriate and click OK. Portable-VirtualBox will extract the files it needs from the VirtualBox installer, and restart itself afterward if you select the last checkbox.
Optional configuration
Portable-VirtualBox makes default settings automatically. You can modify them by pressing CTRL-5 or opening the tray menu while Portable-VirtualBox is running. Either action will bring up the configuration GUI below. The Hokey-Settings tab is shown open in the image below:
Features
- Splash screen to start and end
- Configurable Home Directory
- Launch the VirtualBox GUI or directly launch a VM
- Configure the hotkeys for managing your virtual machine
- Configure USB and network support
- Choose language for GUI
- Saves settings in editable *.ini-files
- Can automatically check for VirtualBox updates
- All absolute paths in the VirtualBox.xml are replaced automatically by relative paths
- Checks to make sure VirtualBox files exist
Install files signature
All install files after launcher version 6.4.10 is digitally signed. Signer is “Open Source Developer, Runar Buvik”, certificate is issued by Certum Level III CA. This is temporarily disabled until a new certificate arrives in the mail.
Note
VirtualBox needs several kernel drivers installed and needs to start several services: if the drivers and services are not already installed you'll need administrator rights to run Portable-VirtualBox.
When Portable-VirtualBox starts, it checks to see if the drivers are installed. If they are not it will install them before running VirtualBox and will remove them afterward. Similarly, Portable-VirtualBox checks to see if the services are running. If not, it will start them and then stop them when it exits.
If you want to save space you can remove the language files for other languages than your own. That can save you nearly 10 MB. They are in the nls directory.
You can also delete the documentation saving nearly 5 MB. You will find it in the doc directory.
When the VM is running you must press the 'Host-Key' (initially configured as the right CTRL-Key) to be able to use the other Hotkeys since otherwise the VM will have the focus.
Network support
- To download of Portable-VirtualBox
- Unpack from Portable-VirtualBox
- Start from Portable-VirtualBox
- Attitudes open (Tray --> attitudes, CTRL+5) --> rider Network (Tab) --> VirtualBox with network support start --> memory (save)
- Terminate from Portable-VirtualBox
- Start from Portable-VirtualBox
- Driver installation agree
- Wait
- Selection of a VM and the network map to host interfaces stop
- Attitudes make
- FINISHED
Languages of Launcher
English, German, Portuguese, Spanish, French, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Polish, Russian and Ukrainian.
Important
None of the files that come from VirtualBox are modified or otherwise changed.
Portable-VirtualBox downloads the VirtualBox installer which contains all of the VirtualBox files and drivers. Portable-VirtualBox unpacks the files and stores them in subdirectories . Portable-Virtualbox can also compress them in order to save space.

Hello,I am trying to install a Windows 8.1 32 bit guest on a HP ProBook 4520s notebook from a 32 bit linux host, but I get stuck with a 0x0000005D error. My only virtualization experience so far has been with Windows XP on the same PC and VirtualBox install (which works perfectly), and I have tried every solution I found on Internet for this error:
- Check ISO file integrity (sha1sum).
- Windows 8.1 Upgrade Assistant finds no problems.
- Assign two processors and Enable PAE/NX in Settings.
- Implement <ExtraData> fix in .vbox file.
- Flash BIOS to the newest version (F.21, 2012-06-14).
- Try to activate PAE/NX in BIOS (see below).
- Activate Data Execution Prevention and Virtualization Technology in BIOS.
- Disable USB legacy support in BIOS.
- Tested with UEFI Boot ON in BIOS.
- Tested with Windows 8.1 (64 bit) template.
Does anyone know what else I should try? Where to concentrate my efforts? Where else I should look for answers?
Virtualbox Windows 8.1 32 Bit 1 32 Bit Key
DETAILS:
When I try to install Windows 8.1 in the newly created VM, a blue logo appears for a few seconds, then the following error message is displayed:
- Code: Select allExpand viewCollapse view
Your PC needs to restart.
Please hold down the power button.
Error Code: 0x0000005D
Parameters:
0x03062505
0x756E6547
0x49656E69
0x6C65746E
The hardware is a HP ProBook 4520s with an Intel Core i3-370M @ 2.40GHz (2 cores + HT). The pae, nx, sse2, and vmx flags do appear in /proc/cpuinfo (all listed options: fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx rdtscp lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts xtopology nonstop_tsc aperfmperf pni dtes64 monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr pdcm pcid sse4_1 sse4_2 popcnt lahf_lm arat dtherm tpr_shadow vnmi flexpriority ept vpid).
The host is Arch Linux (vanilla 3.14.1-1 i686 kernel) with VirtualBox 4.3.10-1.
For the guest, I used the Windows 8.1 (32 bit) VirtualBox setting with 25 GB fixed-size VDI, 2048 MB memory, 2 cores, Enable PAE/NX, and Enable Nested Paging.
I also tested with the Windows 8.1 (64 bit) VirtualBox template, in which case I get a 0x0000000A error instead.
I ran the Windows 8.1 Upgrade Assistant from a Windows 7 partition, and it only issued a few software warnings, nothing hardware-related.
I implemented this special setting in the <ExtraData> section of the .vbox file, even if I believe this may be obsolete now:
- Code: Select allExpand viewCollapse view
$ VBoxManage setextradata win81 VBoxInternal/CPUM/CMPXCHG16B 1
I updated the BIOS to the newest version available on the HP site (68AZZ BIOS, version F.21, 2012-06-14), but I am not sure if this really helps in any way, as there is no apparent 'NX/No-eXecute' or 'PAE' setting. But if I understand the PAE/NX /SSE2 Support Requirement Guide for Windows 8 correctly, then the Data Execution Prevention switch, which I turned on in the BIOS, includes these settings.
I have tested different BIOS setting combinations, to no avail. This is a reproduction of the core BIOS settings:

I tried to attach the VBox.log, but even after a fresh install and one single run, the forum software complains that this file is too long, so I can just post a (random) snippet here. Please tell me if (and what) other debug information is needed.

The following line stands out to me in VBox.log:

I really don't know what to make of this. /proc/cpuinfo does recognize this option, Windows Upgrade Assistant didn't complain, and Enable PAE/NX is checked in the VirtualBox settings. So what is going on?
