Solution 1

Virtualbox didn't work for me, but VMWare did.
See http://www.mywindowsclub.com/resources/5081-Install-Windows-VMWare-Workstation.aspx
make sure to enable hardware virtualization in your BIOS

Solution 2

Will work with Virtualbox. You have to enable hardware virtualization in the settings, VT-x and Nested Paging.

    I would like to run Windows 8 within a virtual machine under Ubuntu.
    My quick attempt with VMware failed.
    Has anyone reached to run Windows 8 on Ubuntu?

    ps: Microsoft just released a public preview of Windows 8 -- see http://dev.windows.com

    Why 512MB ram? These are the requirements: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor 1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit) 16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)

    do check your facts, and don't tell me that you can not install windows 7 on 256 MB of ram because I have installed one on my old machine. these system requirements are advised requirements not actual. omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/windows-8-interesting-competition

    Wasn't my intention to piss you off man, just chill! I know it's possible to run Windows7 with lower requirements, but this is W8 and why not go with the recommended requirements? Especially when the user is having issues running it...

    Broken link. It seems that the article was moved here: techulator.com/resources/… although the instructions are for windows :(
