I am trying to install Windows 8 on my Mac through VirtualBox, but it keeps hanging up at random numbers. D:

You'll have to give us more detailed info than just "random numbers". What are the random numbers you speak of? What build of Windows 8 are you trying to install?

I like VirtualBox. What program do you use?

Developer Preview. On the second step of the install (I think expanding files maybe?) it hangs at different numbers. I'm pretty sure the highest was 80 something.

That doesn't help... BSOD I'm guessing. Make sure you've actually set everything correctly.

No... The mouse doesn't move but the dots by Expanding Files still move, and it stays at that number.

Do you have hardware assisted virtualization support?
Windows 8 won't install without it.
