Hi,
Boot into the BIOS (F10) and change the VT setting to enable and save. See the below image.
HP doesn't support VT on consumer PCs. There has been mixed results with getting VT to work.

EVERYTHING on this pc is X64.... but I can't build a 64 bit virtual machine!!! Help please

Hi:
I don't see a manual for your notebook. Did you look in the security menu for that setting? That is where it is in many of the HP business PC's.

Secure Boot Status: DISABLED. Cannot enable Secure Boot via BIOS.

BIOS Security Page displays:
Secure Boot ENABLED
Secure Boot Status DISABLED
I have attempted to ENABLE Secure Boot multiple times but Secure Boot Status remains DISABLED
This problem occured after BIOS Upgrade to v3.07
I have Lenovo G510 Laptop
Windows 8.1
BIOS Version 79CN48WW (v3.07)
I have tried the recommended solution of "Reset to Setup Mode" and "Restore Factory Keys".
This did not solve the problem, Secure Boot Status still indicates DISABLED.
Please suggest an alternative solution to this problem.

I was scared to attempt the recommended solution of "Reset to Setup Mode" and "Restore Factory Keys", but it actually worked for me!

Enabling Virtualization on a 970A-G46?

I've been trying to figure out how to enable Virtualization.
My BIOS version is V1.11/20121031.
My CPU is a AMD FX-8120 (Which supports AMD-V).
I'm using the GUI Click Bios 2.
My goal is to run create and run a Linux Ubuntu VM using virtual box for development. Is it possible?

Got it. I'm dumb. I enabled IOMMU in click BIOS. Got to create the VM and it's installing UBUNTU. Works well - so far. We'll see how it runs.

Cannot enable AMD-V virtualization extensions in BIOS

Hello All,
I recently purchased a like-new X120e and discovered via much trial and tribulation that Fedora and Windows 7 Pro in dual boot configuration just aren't going to happen for me right now.
This wasn't a big deal until I discovered that I can't seem to enable the AMD-V virtualization extensions in BIOS under CPU. I'll repeatedly enable them and reboot (saving changes of course) and it'll go right back to disabled.
Any advice?
Many thanks,
- DownLink

I had the same problem on a Thinkpad X121e (3051): When I enabled AMD-V virtualization in bios it would revert to disabled upon saving of the bios settings.
It turned out that Memory Protection is causing the setting to be non-sticky.
The solution is simple:
disable "Execution Prevention" (under Security -> Memory Protection);
enabled AMD-V;
enable "Execution Prevention" if you want it on;
save bios settings

Cannot boot if HP ENVY Bios Virtualization enabled for Win8 Pro Hyper-V

HP Envy H8-1414 desktop machine (just bought last week)
Upgraded from Win8 to Win8 Pro
Win8 Pro has Hyper-V just like a Server OS, so I
- enabled Virtualizaiton in the Bios
- in Win8 Pro, Control Panel, Programs and Features, Add/Remove Windows Software
- enabled Hyper-V
- reboot
- won't get past Window logo with rotating "busy" circle underneath
Power off, into BIOS, disable Virtualization
Machine now boots, but Hyper-V won't work.
So, looks like the BIOD supports virtualization, but not for Windows 8.

To add some more details....
The HP specs for this machine say Gigabyte motherboard, but you can't find the model on Gigabyte's web site, and Gigabyte won't support it (I tried, they said it is not theirs - great). Anyway, some Gigabyte boards show a similar problem and the workaround is to disable USB 3 host in the bios, but this machine's BIOS does not show this option.
When I spoke with HP, they very quickly told me that I needed to call Microsoft. They would not provide support for this BIOS issue. Microsoft seemed pretty surprised that they would pass the buck so quickly and I can at least say that they are being very attentive to the problem.
With Microsoft support, they had me recreate the problem and wanted me to let it hang on the Windows logo screen for one hour. Then, they had me run a tool which dumps a bunch of logs and diagnostics to some files which I have sent to them. That's the most recent step so I'm waiting to hear back from them.
I've used Hyper-V on a buch of HP machines with no problems, but none of them with Windows 8. I'm tempted to put in another drive and install Windows 2008 R2 or 2012 and see if Hyper-V works.
I've typically purchased HP machines (for work, so more than an individual woudl buy) because they have been reliable but I've never attempted to use HP support. I was surprised how poor it was. I would think that this would be an issue they would want to resolve and I expect it may be possible with a BIOS update.

New Mac PRO - Windows 8 Pro Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's bios menu

Hello all,
I got a new Mac Pro 2013, and am trying to install windows 8 using the Boot Camp Utility. It creates a 200GB partition, partitioned in FAT. Having done this on my other computers, I usually hit advanced options and then reformat the partition as NTFS. I then install. When i format, I still get this error:
Windows 8 cannot be installed - ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's bios menu. I'm not sure how to get past this step. I am trying to boot from the windows 8 CD and run setup after I partition the drive. I have the USB key with the apple setup files on it.
What am I missing?

Apparently installing via an ISO fixed this issue for me.

Help - Enable Virtualization on GP60 2OD (BIOS related)

Hi everyone,
I hope someone can help me.
I want to enable virtualization (vt-x) in my GP60 2OD but I cannot find it in the BIOS's options.
I checked Speccy and it says that mine is supported but Disabled.
Is there a way to enable this because it's kinda frustrating to have a laptop that still limits you.
I'm having a feeling that this would require to flash a custom BIOS or hack it but I don't know doing either of these options.
I hope someone can help me.
Thank you very much.

typically there is no option for vt-x, but its already enabled by default assume in recent bios versions
make sure that you are using latest and correct BIOS for your notebook and it will be already enabled
if you still need help with it, open new topic in correct section:

I Want to Access BIOS on ThinkCentre M Series to enable virtualization

My Operating System is W-7 Pro and I want to install XP Mode, only I think I need virtualization enabled in the BIOS.
After powering up, the following don't give access to the BIOS:
F1
F2
Ctrl+ Alt + F3
Ctrl + Alt + Ins
F1 + F2
Does anyone know how to access the BIOS in this machine?
According to the Registry Key this computer has Lenovo BIOS Version 5JKT55AUS.
How to enable virtualization is another question, but first I want to get into the BIOS.
Thank you
Solved!

Hello,
Thank you BiggAl (Guru) for responding. Sorry about the delay in my getting back, I am in school, hence little time.
You were 100% correct, once I connected a wired keyboard, F1 accessed the BIOS reliably.
Now my problem is that I don't see where in the BIOS to enable "virtualization" mode.
Can some one tell me how?
Thank you

Cannot rollback to my previous bios. Please Help

I have an MSI 845PE MAX2 mainboard with 6704 chip and bios version 1.2
I have recently made an attempt to upgrade to 3.06 GHz hyperthreading cpu.
Unfortunatelly the board did not recognize the cpu so I tried to upgrade my bios
to 1.3b version which I found somewhere in the Internet. The problem still remains
and I also get a cmos error every time I boot. I tried to rollback to my
previous recovery bios version 1.2 , but it cannot be done because I cannot disable the Bios flash protection feature of the board. I do choose disable, then I choose save and exit and the computer freezes. When I try to cold reboot the system and enter the bios again the Bios flash protection feature is enable again. It seems like I cannot save into the flash rom. I have also used the jumper on the board to erase cmos but nothing. Do you have any ideas what to do? Do you thing I destroyed the board?
thanks

Hi
May I know if you can go pass the POST screen where your computer searches for Bootable Dvices? If so, I will recommand you to get the BIOS for your board from MSI's website and flash it back to BIOS Version 1.2- PCB without 2.0: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_dld_detail.php?UID=366&kind=1
I also saw that the current version of BIOS that you are using is denoted by a letter "b" at the end, which in most cases, are beta BIOS which is for engineering use and I personally DO NOT recommand them unless you have problems that are unsolved by the current revision of the BIOS. (This applies especially for BIOS files which are not obtained originally from MSI's website.)
If you do not know how to do a proper flashing of the BIOS, please read the "How to flash BIOS" in the BIOS file. If you want the board to recognise HT, you got to go to the BIOS menu and then advanced chipset setting. Then make sure that MPS Version is at 1.4 and the option Hyper-Threading is enabled. This setting is available on MSI 865PE Neo 2 board and I think it applies to 845PE too.
Cheers

IdeaPad Flex 15D no virtualization option in BIOS 94CN07WW (AMD APU A6-5200)

Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 15D (AMD APU A6-5200) does not have virtualization option in BIOS version 94CN07WW. What this means is if one wants to run for example Virtualbox, then one would only be able to vitualize a 32-bit operating system, instead of either a 32-bit or 64-bit operating system. However, a similar model Lenovo IdeaPad S415 Touch (AMD APU A6-5200) does have the SVM option in the BIOS to enable or disable virtualizing 64-bit operating systems. December 22, 2014 8:00AM CSTWhen I called Lenovo technical support, I initially spoke with someone who sounded as if they were from the Philippines, which is fine if they are knowledgable, and their english is fluent. Unfortunately, when I explained the technical situation, he had no idea what I was talking about. After he checked with in Level 2 quite few times, he said that the motherboard doesn't support virtualization... So, I advised him that I've been in the IT industry for 10 years, and while admittedly I don't know everything about virtualization, I have some level of knowledge on the subject having worked in all positions from Level 1 Technical Support to Systems Engineer. Hence, I proceeded to explain how virtualization is a dependency of the CPU, not the motherboard. One would of course need to have a motherboard that is compatible with the CPU in order for the computer to work at all. However, one may buy a CPU without virtualization extensions and plug it into a motherboard, or one may buy the same CPU with virtualization extensions and plug it into this same motherboard. As well, I invited him to look at Intel or AMD's website for further information on this while we were on the phone so I could help clear up any questions he had on the matter. While he didn't appear to review either website, he checked in with Level 2 again, and suggested we check forums to see if a work around exists. I quickly explained there is no work around to this type of problem, and the resolution would be to put a request into engineering to have a BIOS update pushed out that allowed enabling/disabling SVM by default. After checking in with Level 2 once again, he said if it's not an option in the BIOS, then the computer doesn't support it. I advised while this statement is something I already knew (not to mention painfully obvious at this point), it's not a technical limitation of the hardware, as the CPU supports it. The root cause is that toggling SVM enabled/disabled wasn't designed in the BIOS (i.e. this needs a BIOS update to come out to fix this problem). We briefly talked about a warranty event, how from my past experiences sometimes when one submits a laptop to a vendor and gets it returned, it comes with a BIOS version that is later than originally submitted, or one that is not available for download from the vendor website. However, he wasn't really for this idea, as I didn't have a hardware fault per-say, and I wasn't interested in insisting one a warranty event as it was frankly a low probability event to have this outcome, and it wasn't what I wanted out of the conversation anyway. So, after he checked in with Level 2 again, he said he can call me back after he investigated some more. I advised him that a call back is useless if he is the one calling me back as we already know the problem, resolution, and who would need to address it. After he began to stutter, and make incomplete sentences that made no sense, he put me on hold to check in with Level 2 again (yes he checked in with them this many times). When he came back he claimed I said earlier in the conversation that the option to enable it was available so I should just go ahead and do that. Given that this guy frankly didn't know what I was talking about to begin wtih, and now is telling me something that never even happened in the conversation, I pretty much had enough of the lack of knowledge, and customer service I was receiving, so I asked to speak to either a supervisor or the next level of support. Thankfully he transferred me to his supervisor, who sounded like he wasn't from an outsourced call center, as when I explained the situation he understood me the first time, and spoke clear and articulate english. After a very brief discussion about what he was reading from Lenovo forums and a BBB complaint similar to my inquiry, we came to the conclusion that it would need to be a customer courtesy request to the engineering department to request the SVM option become available via a BIOS update. So, with my case number in hand, I said despite him not being able to promise me the outcome I desired, he at least got the issue in front of the right people, which I appreciated. Long story short, it would be just simply really awesome if Lenovo could push out a Happy Holidays BIOS update that would allow me to enable SVM on my IdeaPad Flex 15D. Thanks for reading.

I came across this issue a while back also. However, with the quickly-approaching release of Windows 10, there's another problem that I consider far more important (it is also related to the BIOS, go figure). There is no way to enable/disable Execute Disable Bit in the BIOS. Due to this, I have been unable to upgrade to the Windows 10 Insider Preview, and I fear that this will be the same case with the final release. This issue apparently affects lots of others as well. It is interesting to note that the Flex 15D drivers page no longer says that a BIOS update is not available for the laptop... It doesn't give any info about the BIOS. Get with it, Lenovo!

Extensions seems still enabled but missing in extensions menu

After upgrading firefox to version 8, I was expecting the one time "Select your Add Ons" dialog to appear. This did not happen, instead I got a script error from one of my extensions "Zotero" and firefox failed to start.
I restarted firefox and it opened ok but Zotero appeared disabled (had a yellow exclaimation triangle icon over it). I went to Firefox->Add Ons->Extensions to see if it was disabled or incompatable but found that the window was empty with the message "You don't have any add ons of this type installed". now have several add ons which are still working (Firebug, Video Download Helper definitely still working) even though I cannot see them in the "Extensions" Menu and therefore have no way to disable/enable them.

Self-solved! I work in column view in Finder so get there in a Finder window with folders and files appearing.
There really is no problem, just select an ITEM in the COLUMN before right-clicking!
The "old" context menu will appear. If you click in the white space in that column (or anywhere in a Finder window) and then place the cursor over a folder or file WITHOUT selecting it and right-click you will bring up the secondary context menu - Open, Copy, Duplicate, View Options and a greyed out Labels option. No "Move to Trash".

"User" Library in the FontBook is "Off" and I cannot enable it. Help!

Few weeks ago I decided to speed up my new Mac little bit by turning all fonts in the "User" Library "Off". Yesterday I needed some fonts which are in the User library, so I opened FontBook and tried to enable "User" library, but I could not. I cannot enable it anymore. I can click on "Enable "User"", but nothing changes. It remains with the "Off" label, and shows no fonts in it, while in reality there are 50 fonts there (~/Library/Fonts). Any ideas how to enable it again? Please help. Thanks in advance!

Guntis Bukalders:
Unless you have a good reason for having FileVault turned on, I suggest you turn it off. I can cause a lot of grief i get a bit too much on our HDD. It utilizes your HDD space for a sparse image approximately the size of your Users Folder.
Is there a reason why you wanted it turned Font Book off?
I enabling User in the Edit menu doesn't do it try this. Shut down your computer completely. Then try starting up in Safe Mode, log in, empty Trash, retart computer and log in normally. Open Font Book and try enabling user again.
Good luck.
