How to fix Blue screen of death in windows 8 virtual box

[windows 7 was my idea]

I've seen alot of people having this problem in their virtual box. It starts to load windows then after a minute it stops and gives you some kind of error. While trying to load windows 8 in virtual box environment. THis has helped me and a few others so i hope it can people here as well All you have to do is go to virtual box's website and under the downloads there is a virtual box extension package you have to download and import into virtual box after that everything should work fine with windows 8 : )

How do you go about "importing" it into VirtualBox? I've not downloaded it yet I'm still running 4.0.10 :dno

[windows 7 was my idea]

I just drug the file from my downloads folder into the open virtual box window that worked for me.

cheers
