PSA: Do NOT install VirtualBox 4.2.4 on Win8Prox64

By | November 6, 2012

Just did this, install went fine. Afterward, network was dead. That’s kinda expected given what VirtualBox does w/ your network drivers.

No matter what I did, enable/disable adapter, run troubleshooter, etc I couldn’t get it back. So I rebooted. It hung on the Windows logo and never got in to the system. Ended up getting VERY lucky by having a 3hr old system restore image that I had to use. It was the only way things booted up again for me.

You’ve been warned.
