Windows 8 build 7791 bootscreen hang

[PCMaster]

I wanted to test out this build by installing it on virtual machine, but it hangs on bootscreen! I tried couple solutions like changing BIOS date and installing it on IDE DVD drive as BetaWiki recommends to do, but no matter what I do, it still hangs! Any fix to it?

Have you tried setting the hardware compatibility in VMware to version 9? (If you have it)
I also wanted to mention the problem with loading via DVD SATA, but I saw that you also have a problem with the IDE DVD drive, I can only advise a SCSI DVD drive or USB flash drive.

I may be wrong somewhere, I just want to help you!

I'm using VirtualBox as a VM for installing procedure, but I still need to try with the SCSI DVD drive! I'll reply you when it's gonna work (if I have some time)!

It worked! Turns out I didn't switch into the Legacy mode in Acceleration section in the VirtualBox settings!
