Problem in virtualization
Problem in virtualization
So here is my problem, when i try to start a .vmdk it never starts and its stuck. Im guessing the problem lies in virtualization because i have a windows 7 64bit os and when i created the image i only seen 32bit versions. Now i searched it and found about the virtualization but here is the problem, my bios advanced options are locked and not only that, i downloaded an intel utility that said that my cpu doeshnt support virtualization. Is there any possibilty to start and run the .vdmk with the 32bit versions?
Thanks a lot

Re: Problem in virtualization
If the OS installed in the .vmdk is a 32-bit OS, then yes. You will only be able to have one virtual CPU in the guest. If the OS is 64-bit, then it will not run on your PC.
Re: Problem in virtualization
but it doeshnt show 64bit OS for the vmdk(i told why it doeshnt have that as option although i have in my computer win7 64 bit) , and when i choose for the vmdk to run with opensuse 32 bit it never runsscottgus1 wrote:If the OS installed in the .vmdk is a 32-bit OS, then yes.

Re: Problem in virtualization
Define "it never starts and its stuck" and "it never runs" Do you get a Virtualbox error window? Does the guest window appear and then stops executing programs? See Minimum info needed
Also, try downloading a 32-bit OpenSuse ISO and use that to install OpenSuse fresh in a guest. See what that does.

Re: Problem in virtualization
OK, still can't figure what's happening, since I don't have the image you're using and can't see what it's doing on your computer. Please see the link I posted.
