Fix that and it should work fine.

The information in I have a 64bit host, but can't install 64bit guests has some guidance. Start by checking that the VT-x options in the BIOS are enabled and then make sure nothing else in the host OS is using it - we know lots of the usual suspects on a Windows host but not so sure about an Ubuntu host.

My crystal ball is currently broken. If you want assistance you are going to have to give me all of the necessary information.
Please don't ask me to do your homework for you, I have more than enough of my own things to do.

IME, when the log is that explicit - "it's in the BIOS" - then that's usually where you should look. The FAQ which Andy references gives some tips on this.

I simply have two systems installed and don't find any instruction on how to boot Bios in that case.

We can't give you an instruction manual for your host PC(s). You need to look in your own manuals, or contact the manufacturers forum - or Google, since you probably aren't the first to need the answer.
