do what the error message says to do.

I checked the BIOS Setup (on an ASUS X75A laptop), and it showed Virtualizaotion thing "enabled". I still get a critical error when booting up a Win8 restore DVD. I have attached the VBox log file, which I hope will reveal that I have done something quite dumb and easy to fix.

According to the log file your host is Windows, not Linux. Moving the thread to "Linux Guests".
Also, is this issue different from
your previous thread? The subject matters seem very similar.

I'm lost but it seems
j8tennant hijacked
UnicornMAN's thread.

Ah right, I didn't notice that the last poster wasn't the OP.
j8tennant, if the previous answers don't solve your problem then start your own topic, and provide a VM log file.
Minimum information needed for assistance.
