Re: Can't Install 64-bit OS on Guest
Specs issue: no, settings issue: yes. Check the VirtualBox FAQ. Please, search next time, asked a zillion times already. If you mainboard doesn't have it enabled, you can't use it.

Re: Can't Install 64-bit OS on Guest
VT-x and AMD-V are already activated ... have a look at the image
i can't find any setting in the BIOS to enable Or Disable VT-X .. the bios version is the latest for the board

Re: Can't Install 64-bit OS on Guest
Oh, so trusting the settings is a valid point now? Geeh, I wonder, does my AMD-FX60, or even my older AMD 3500+, socket 939, have AMD-V? VB says it's enabled, but I don't see anything for it in my BIOS.
If you don't see it in your BIOS, you mainboard doesn't support it, thus you can't run 64 bit Guests. As I said, asked a zillion times. Really, check things more thoroughly before stating otherwise.

No chance. Every Bios has another structure.
If there is no setting like VT, then check VMWARE Homepage. There is a 64 Bit Check Utility.

Re: Can't Install 64-bit OS on Guest
Lucky you. But in general, you don't have that option available to you. It really depends on the mainboard though. It's possible it's hard coded in the BIOS to enable it for you.stefan.becker wrote:Thats not completly true. I have no setting in the bios.

But in this case, he doesn't have it, so he can't run 64 bit Guests.

Re: Can't Install 64-bit OS on Guest
So? My laptop has a T2300, also VT-x capable, but still not accessible by VB. Why? They put in a crappy, cheapass mainboard that has no idea about anything other than that 1 + 1 = 2. Get yourself some better equipment, or let it go and run 32 bit.giridegr8 wrote:VMware Compatiablity Check Failed .. it says processor not compatiable ... but intel's site has mentioned VT and EMT64 in the features list of my processor

Re: Can't Install 64-bit OS on Guest
Maybe not, but it's also possible they just didn't add support for it in either the chipset, or BIOS. You can always contact the manufacturer and ask how to get it working, or add support for it because you paid so much for it.giridegr8 wrote:@Sasquatch: DG33FB is a High-end Motherboard and not a crappy or cheapass one
