iMac running Windows via Bootcamp running Virtualbox

Post by xlar54 »

Its sounds more complicated than it is.. Im using Bootcamp to run Windows 7 on my iMac. Whenever I try to run a 64 bit OS in virtualbox in this mode, it gives me an error that VT-X is not enabled on the host. Can someone help? For obvious reasons, I will cross post this in the Windows hosts section as well.

Cross posting is against the forum rules. It leads to confusion and duplication of effort. Pick one place and post there. I've left your first post in the Mac hosts forum, if that isn't suitable I can move it, but cross posting is out. I would suggest that "Mac hosts" is the best place for your question, since other Mac users will know about Bootcamp foibles. Generic "Windows Hosts" users will not.

Oh, and as regards your original question, please post the log file for the VM as a compressed attachment.
