Error while installing Whistler in VirtualBox

When I tried to install Windows Whistler in VirtualBox, but it says that there is a fatal error and setup cannot continue. I tried to go to the BIOS but I don't know how and I tried a lot of things, they don't work. Please help.

    Get the Bios Date for 2428 it is 01/30.01

    Install MS-DOS 6.22 first, and change the date to whatever build you are installing.

    Actually, I found an easier way to install it.
    Just change your date on a real PC to a Whistler BIOS date BEFORE THE SETUP. It works properly!

    Microsoft installs "timebombs" in their BETA products. Go past a certain date and it stops working. They did this so that you wouldn't be able to use the BETA indefinitely and you have to buy the full, retail OS.

    Yes, I know.
    And I found an interesting "timebomb" bug in Windows Whistler build 2446.
    When I installed it, setted BIOS date before the setup, and setted back my actual date. But when I booted Whistler 2446 again, it said: "Your trial time expired, and Windows cannot continue booting.". Pressed OK, REBOOT!
    and this happened everytime. So I don't recommend to install Whistler 2446.
