Powering VM up...

Post by RapidCobra »

Hello guys/girls,
I'm new to ORACLE and VM world, I buy the famous book from OccupyTheWeb "Linux basics for hackers".
I try to launch my first VM on my windows 10 pc, VM working on Debian Linux (64bit).
Every time I try to do something, I always get the same error code, can someone help me please?

Error code :

Not in a hypervisor partition (HVP=0) (VERR_NEM_NOT_AVAILABLE).

AMD-V is disabled in the BIOS (or by the host OS) (VERR_SVM_DISABLED).

Result Code: E_FAIL (0X80004005)

Component: ConsoleWrap

Interface: IConsole {6ac83d89-6ee7-4e33-8ae6-b257b2e81be8}

Either your computer's "virtualization technology" (VT-x / AMD-V / SVM) is not on in the BIOS or Hyper-V is active. Go through everything in:

I have a 64bit host, but can't install 64bit guests

That's a warning, not an error. And did you read it? The message seems very clear to me: you can't store an 80GB file on a FAT-formatted drive (FAT has a 4GB file size limit). If the VDI tries to grow beyond 4GB then the VM will be corrupted. Reformat the drive to exFAT or NTFS. I prefer the latter.

RapidCobra, please abide by two things:

1. Acknowledge and report results of the advice you're given for previous questions before going on to new questions.

2. New questions go in new topics. One issue per thread

And, as Mpack says above, when you get a Virtualbox popup, read the message and think on it for a bit. I too find the warning completely understandable.

So I guess that was three things. :D
