cannot start virtual machine windows 8 hyper-v laptop i5
2013-08
Uri
I recently bought an Asus laptop equipped with i5-3317u 1.70GHz and Windows 8. Upgraded to Windows 8 Pro and added the hyper-v feature.
Creating a VM goes OK but trying to start it, it fails with a message "could not initialize" and event id 3040.
I have searched all over and can't see what's wrong.

osx - Can I run Mac OS X as a Hyper-V Virtual Machine?
Russ
I would like to know if it is possible, (not from a legality standpoint, but from a technical standpoint), to run Mac OS X on a Hyper-V VM. This would make testing so much easier as I would not have to go dig up and old Mac or find someone and borrow their laptop.

No. Hyper-V is very specific about supported OS's and the generic drivers are very Microsoft specific.
