You Need To Follow These Sets
1. You Need To Download Windows 8 Developer Preview
2. Then You Need To Download A Virtual Machine
3. Follow These Directions After You Download Both Things To Install It On A Virtual Machine
To install the developer preview in VirtualBox:
Click New to create a new virtual machine and type a name for it.
For Operating System version, select "Other Windows"
For memory size, enter 2048 MB, more or less. Microsoft recommends 2GB at least for the 64-bit version. I found that when I used 3072 MB I couldn't use my computer at all. As you'll see with the VMware Fusion and Parallels test, you can probably get away with using 1GB or 1.5GB of RAM here for better performance overall.
Click continue through the next screen to create a start up disk.
Click continue again to create a VDI file.
Use a Fixed size disk, for better performance (especially since this is just a test virtual machine).
A 20GB disk size is probably fine; that's the minimum Microsoft recommends for the 64-bit version.
Click Create and your virtual disk file will be created.
Then, you'll need to go into the settings of the virtual machine you just created and check some options (thanks to these tips from AddictiveTips):
Under System: Enable IO APIC
Under Processor: Enable PAE/NX
Under Acceleration: Enable VT-x/AMD-V and Enable Nested Paging
Go to Storage, and click the CD icon next to CD/DVD Drive, then choose the virtual CD/DVD disk file to browse to the Windows 8 ISO file you downloaded.
Finally click Start to begin the installation and walk through the Windows 8 installation.
