Cannot see 64bit Linux Option when creating the virtual mach

Post by Vbox Test »

Hi all, this is my first virtual box install and I've installed it on my windows laptop. When I try to create a guest machine I don't get to choose 64bit Linux, I want to install 64 bit RHEL but it is not there in drop down box.

My OS is Microsoft Windows [Version 6.3.9600] which is windows 8.1

My Vbox file used to install the Vbox is - VirtualBox-4.3.10-93012-Win.exe --- downloaded today ( 10-May-2014)

The objective is to create a 2 node RAC using virtual box on my windows laptop. Could you please help me? Since this is my first install so I would need more help from experts here. Thanks in advance

Thanks

you need to enable VT-X in your computer's BIOS.
