Post by kan1969 »

Hi Experts,

I am having a host os xp 32 bit. Is it possible to install guest 64 bit xp os on it using Virtualbox? I tried, but encountered some problem and was unable to proceed.

Kindly advise.

Thanks,
with kind regards,
Kannan

Are you from the secret service or can you post details? :)

Sorry, but its easy: No details, no help.

=> Hosts hardware (CPU), logfile, exact error message, vbox version.

A 64bit guest requires that the CPUs VT-x/AMD-v feature is selected in the guest settings. That in turn requires that your CPU supports this feature, and that you have this feature enabled in the hosts BIOS.
