Enable Virtualization BIOS option

What about me? I have a X48C Platinum motherboard and a Core 2 Duo E6850. Thrust me... they both suport Intel VT. But in bios there is no on or of swich for vanderpool or Intel VT. I to want to use XP Mode in Windows 7, but it tells me that this option is disable and that I must enable it in bios. But in bios, no option fot this in the CPU Featurs. WHAT AM I GONA DO???? Pls Reply sombody with an answer not a link or a negative response. I`ve allready got those on other forums.

So if I used a CPU with VT support, the mainboard (G31M3-L V2) will support it also?
It should.
Quote
Can I find the VT option in BIOS also?
No.

I will upgrade my CPU soon to 3.06 GHz E7600...
You still did not get the point, I think.
If you find out, which E7500 you have now, and if you have the revision that supports Intel VT, then you can check if the mainboard currently supports VT or if it doesn't. Once you have this information, you will automatically know, if VT will work with an E76000 or if it won't. In the latter case, you would have to contact MSI Technical Support to get a BIOS Fix.
However, since you don't want to find out which CPU you have or because you are unable to check that for some reason, I cannot really help you with your questions as there is no way to be sure about anything.
So, please find out what E7500 you currently have. Once we know this, all you questions can be answered.

Enable virtualization

Hi,
I have a Pavilion DV7-2260ed. It has the Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T6600 @ 2.20GHz. It has hardware virtualization, but Virtual PC's detection application warns that the capability is disabled in the BIOS.
My BIOS does not have an option to enable it.
I have read on fora that the advanced options in the bios can be enabled. However, for this specific model there is no Flash file available.
What can I do?
Thank you,
Kasper

Hi Lisa,
I think i have found out what the problem is. On these two sites, i found my answer.

In your case, it is not possible for you to enable Intel VT because the CPU does not support this feature. (Your dv7-2215eb has an Intel Core 2 Duo T6600.)

It seems that my T6600 Duo core processor is unable to support VT-x.
I do not have the enable Virtualization Technology option in my BIOS and also do not know how and if I can enable the advanced options. But now, I think it is not necessary anymore.
Thank you for your reply though.

Enable Virtualization: what does it do ? T400

Good day,
I have a T400 with 4GB Ram and 7200 500GB HDD, running Ubuntu 9.10
I was snooping around my BIOS and discovered the enable option for Virtualization...
I didnn't know what that refered to specifically and I am not sure that I do now...
How does enabling this BIOS option help run virtual machines on the T400 ?
I don't have many reasons to run Windows, but it would be great to be able to use my scanner again.
If I want to setup a VM for windows, what BIOS settings will help or hurt or what ...?
Thanks for reading,
wbg
UPDATE: I read that te VM's run under Ubuntu, so if the scanner is not detected in Ubuntu, it won't work in VM windows.
Solved!

Hello,
the virtualization option enables the intel vt cpu feature.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_VT#Intel_Virtualization_Technology_for_x86_.28Intel_VT-x.29
that means you got a higher performance when you are running virtual machines. with vt enabled the guest feels like a native one.
maybe you can share the usb port for the scanner for the guest only. you should try it.

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

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

Satellite L840/020 - Cannot enter BIOS after enabling fast boot option

I have a Toshiba L840/020 (PSK8LA-020007) notebook. I recently installed an Intel 330 Series SSD and Windows 8 Pro RTM 6.2.9200 MSDNAA on it and enabled Fast boot option in the BIOS (Boot speed > Fast).
Now I can not get into the BIOS no matter what I do. I tried pressing power button while holding down F2 (as suggested by few other forums) , up on failing that I tried all F keys and Esc, but nothing works. I also tried repeatedly pressing F2 while booting, connected an external USB keyboard and pressed F2 on that , but no matter what I do I cannot get into the BIOS.
When I go to Download section of Toshiba support > Windows 8 64bit, I can also see a BIOS update for my notebook, but when I try to install that I get the following error :
Error
Flash process will be terminated!
Current platform have secure boot feature, it must provide NV storage location by IHISI interface.
Please contact OEM BIOS engineer to add the feature.
Without this IHISI interface, the authenticate variables will be modified or cleared by flash process.
If you understand the risk and still want to flash.
You can add the following setting in platform.ini to ignore error.
[EngineeringErrorDisable]
SkipSecureBootProtectionCheck=1
OK
I didnt change platform.ini and flash, without first seeking help from the community.
Please let me know how to get into the BIOS. Thanks.

Hi
Try firstly INS button and then F2 button.
Then you should be able to access the BIOS I recommend disabling the fast boot in the BIOS if you could successfully enter the BIOS.
Regarding the BIOS update.
I checked the Toshiba AU driver page and it seems that the BIOS v6.20 is the same like for Win 7.
I think that the BIOS update should be done running the Toshiba preinstalled system since Win 8 is not officially on the market yet and from my knowledge there are some big restrictions updating the BIOS running Win 8

Aaargh! 3000 N200 crippled/dumbed-down BIOS options and lack of VESA modes

Hi,
I have a Lenovo 3000 N200. The actual hardware is okay for the price (cheapest computer with Penryn CPU and 1680x1050 screen), but the BIOS settings are another matter...
The biggest issue is that Lenovo has disabled the CPU PAE/NX feature in the BIOS and there is no way to enable it. (This has been covered in another thread.) Anyone buying an N200 would have good cause to return it for a refund, since nowhere is it mentioned that this CPU feature is disabled. Luckily 64-bit support is still there, otherwise I'd definitely return mine.
That's not the only problem though. The available settings/options in the BIOS are extremely inadequate. I looked at the v3.03 BIOS update file using a BIOS editor program, and text for all the missing options is in the BIOS image -- these features already exist but Lenovo decided to disable them. Is there any chance Lenovo can enable the missing options in a future BIOS update?
Here are the main annoyances for me:
There should be an option to change the graphics scaling in the BIOS. Non-widescreen modes like 640x400, 640x480 and 800x600 are stretched horizontally to fill the whole screen. I would prefer them to be stretched but keep the original aspect ratio. Once Windows or Linux has booted, you can tell the graphics driver to do that, but that's no help if you're booting to DOS or e.g. a Linux boot CD or Windows installation CD.
There are not enough VESA graphics modes. My N200 with nVidia GeForce Go 7300 graphics has a 1680x1050-pixel screen, but the highest VESA resolution is 1400x1050 (modes 0x347 and 0x348), which always appears stretched. Other nVidia cards seem to use modes 0x368 and 0x369 for 1680x1050.
And here is a run-down of other options which should be user-settable but aren't:
The internal hard disk is always bootable, there's no way to set the BIOS not to boot from it. (You can set its priority lower than the DVD drive, but if there's no bootable disc in there it will always boot from the hard disk.)
The execute disable bit is always disabled, with no way to enable it.
No option to disable the 2nd core of the CPU. (Useful for testing software.)
No option to disable Intel Virtualization Technology. (Useful for testing software.)
No option to enable dynamic CPU frequency mode. (This would be useful in DOS; currently the fan spins all the time there.)
There's an interesting Linux-related option which is not selectable: 'Select IF a Video Repost is to be performed during resume from S3'. Options are 'Disabled: Never', 'perform a Video Repost upon resume from S3', 'Only perform a Video Repost IF the OS is Linux', 'Enabled: Always perform a Video Repost upon resume from S3'.
No option to choose whether there is an alarm when the battery is low.
No option to select the TV video standard (NTSC/PAL/SECAM).
No option to disable the trackpad.
No option to set the keyboard auto-repeat delay and rate.
No option to disable other hardware like the DVD drive, Ethernet card, WiFi, Bluetooth, or HD audio.
All in all, the disabled no-execute bit and video mode issues with the BIOS have kind of soured my experience with this machine. I wish Lenovo would re-enable the missing features in a BIOS update... sigh.

Respect and appreciation for highlighting the lack of BIOS features; I have been spending a long time trying to get S Video to work with my PAL tv. Only now found that the black and white result is due to unmodifiable NTSC settings in the BIOS, and now you tell me they cant be changed.
So aye, another hat in the ring for Bios Update Please.
Hmm so was it advertised in the UK as having TV out - if so and it cannot deliver it because it is NTSC only then this is not fit for purpose and you could get money back.
I'm also disappointed in the lack of advanced power management like toshiba have (dim screen and slow down CPU as battery runs down) and lack of dvd acoustic silencer.
And thanks for posting this - saves me the trouble of buying a cable to plug into the tv-out port if it ain't gonna work!

Enabling Virtualization Technology to Install Windows 8 on Virtual Machine?

Hello…I have an HP HPE-310t Desktop computer that is currently running the 32-bit version of Windows 7.
I'm interested in installing the Windows 8 Customer Preview on a virtual machine such as Virtual Box. I've done a little bit of research on how to do this, but there is one thing I am unclear about, and so I'm requesting assistance here.
The documentation I've read states my processor must support Virtualization Technology. The processor is a quad-core, so I'm assuming it does. However, the documentation also says Virtualization Technology is often disabled by default, and may need to be enabled to use it.
I'm not sure how to do this. I'm assuming it has to be done in BIOS. Can anyone please tell me where to find the option to enable Virtualization Technology, or check to see if is already enabled?
Thank you for your assistance. J. Danniel

Hello, and thank you for replying.
I actually found the Virtualization Technology option in BIOS and enabled it. I had no trouble installing Windows 8 on Virtual Box.
However, while I'm sitting here typing this, I should say something: I did install Windows 8 Customer Preview on my computer when it first came out. (I did a full system backup with Acronis True Image prior to the installation.)
Anyway, the installation went smoothly, and I installed a dozen or so programs on it with no problems. When I installed a Thunderbird E-Mail backup program, I rebooted, and my computer froze at the HP Welcome/BIOS sign-on screen.
It just stayed there. I shut the computer off for a minute or two, restarted it, and it froze again. I began to feel a touch of panic. I shut the computer off yet again, waited 15 minutes, and restarted it using the Acronis True Image boot CD. Fortunately, it booted up, so I restored my backup.
For the brief period of time I used Windows 8 on my actual system and not in Virtual Box, my reaction was highly negative. I was VERY impressed with the revised Explorer--they finally got that right. I actually LIKE the ribbon in it!
But Metro? The elimination of a Start button? It's hell on earth to use a keyboard and mouse to get to a Shut Down, Log Off, or Restart option.
I can't envision a scenario where I would upgrade my computer to Windows 8. Messing with it once in a while in Virtual Box...yeah, I'll do that. I can nuke the whole thing without much chaos.
Thanks again! Jd

How to enable the bios in my sleekbook

Hi Im trying to enable the bios in my sleekbook so I can run 64 bit virtual machines on it.
I'm using VMware workstation 9 as the virtual software and trying to run Windows 2008 Server R2 64 bit.
My computers specs are:
Model: HP ENVY Touchsmart Ultrabook Sleekbook 4-1115dx
OS: Windows 8 64 bit
Processor: Intel Core i5-3317U 1.70 GHz
RAM: 4 GB
I tried looking online and there was nothing mention on how to do it. Please help.

This should be an option in BIOS provided it supports virtualization (most do).
Power the notebook off.
Power the notebook on and press F10 about once every second.
Eventually, the BIOS should load. Select System Configuration at the top and your screen should look similar to the one below.
You should be able to enable virtualization here.
Let me know what happens.

Yes, the processor supports VT, but the PC may not due to the BIOS not supporting VT.
