What do I need to know before installing Windows 2008 Hyper-V?

If you are looking into installing Windows 2008 Hyper-V you will need to check your hardware first as you will need is a x64 based processor. It will also require you to have Hardware Data Execution Protection enabled.
Another thing that you will need to do before installing the virtualization role on Windows 2008 is to install two updates. Both of these updates are located in the <systemdrive>\windows\wsv folder. Inside this folder you should find two updates. One of the updates is Windows6.0-KB939854-x64.msu and the other update is Windows6.0-KB939853-x64.msu. You can install these updates in any order that you like. If you do not install these updates windows server virtualization will not be an option when you try to add the virtualization role.

Good luck with Hyper-V installation
