Hello.

I'm new here and have one question about VirtualBox.
I used VMware Workstation (trial) and I don't have any problem.
But that is too expensive for me.

I want to try some OS like Windows 8 , Linux and etc.
For first Guest OS , I tried DOS 7.10. I tried it on VMware too
and don't had problems. When I insert ISO image and run Install ,
on first step I always got CPU errors. A lot of errors.

On VMware Workstation I had only problem with Long Mode Support
(when I want to run 64-bit Guest) and that is all.

How to install and configure VirtualBox to work with all OS ?

Thanks in advance.
Trinty :p

Keep in mind, you can use VMWare Player, which is free, and it can create VM's and it works well. So, if you are used to using VMWare, there is a free alternative to paying for Workstation.
