I'm trying to run a VM with Windows 2008 Server 64 R2. But on install I get the error:
Trying to load a 64 bit application.however this CPU is not compatible with 64 bit mode.
Enable VT-x/AMD-v

Could someone help me,please?

Thanks

It appears that you are not selecting the 64-bit when creating a new guest. io apic would have been enabled if you had.

Thanks for your answer, Perryg.
I enabled the IO-APIC but still appears the same problem even establishing a new virtual machine.

Many thanks

When you create a new guest there is a pull down window (version). It probably defaults to just Windows 8 or Windows 2008, but if you click the drop down arrow it should also list Windows 8 (64 bit) or Windows 2008 (64 bit)

Thanks again, Perryg but it doesn't work yet.
It doesn't matter in which PC try to setting it up. Always appears this message:
File: \windows\system32\boot\winload.exe
Status: 0xc000035a
Info: Attempting to load a 64-bit application, however this CPU is not compatible with 64-mode.

IO APIC is enabled.
ISO I'm using has been downloaded from Microsoft page.
I've tried to do it like you told me in your last message as well.

Thank you anyway! ;)

I was trying to find a solution to my problem yesterday and I got download a 32 bits ISO of WServer 2008 and It ran properly at VBox but however It was empty!!( I just could see the main blue screen after logging but without icons or Init button) (??) so I couldn't do anything with it.
To be honest, I can't think what else I can do...

Code: Select all

HWACCM: No VT-x or AMD-V CPU extension found. Reason VERR_SVM_DISABLED
Enable hardware virtualization in you bios.
