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:

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.

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

Thanks in advance.

The Atom N570 processor does not have VT, so it is not possible

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

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.

Any solutions?
Thanks in advance,

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.)

Processor Family Supports Intel® VT-x Supports Intel® EPT
Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor T6000 Series T6670 T6570 Yes No T6600 T6500 T6400No No
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.

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.

Help! How to reset G770 BIOS password? Also blue screen 0x00000050 PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

Short story: After automatic updates every boot ends up with blue screen. I need to access BIOS to set the factory defaults, but the the guy i bought this laptop from forgot the password he put on BIOS...
Long story: One morning i was shutting down my laptop and automatic updates started, i haven't got time to wait so i closed the lid and left. Came back home, opened the lid, updating resumed and completed, restart - since then i never saw my Win 7...=( laptop crashes everytime with blue screen error 0x00000050 PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA even in safe mode... If you click on this link you can see the topic i've created at Microsoft Forum.
Full story: I got myself a G770 about a year ago, swapped i5 to i7, 750GB HDD to 120GB SSD, it was flying!!! Few months later GPU failed, then CPU, apparently they were fried due to insufficient cooling (probably crappy cheap paste i used), had to put original i5 back. Later battery failed so i decided to send it for warranty service repair. My work is highly computer-dependent so i got myself another G770 as a temporary replacement, took my SSD from the old laptop, put in the new one - no problem, until it failed after automatic updates, as explained in the "Long story"...
I really need your help guys, first of all with BIOS password, but also with getting my old Win 7 back to life, i don't even mind making a small "donation" for anyone who helps to sort this out for me. I work mainly with graphics/video software and i have apps perfectly set up to my needs with profiles etc and it would be a total nightmare to do a fresh install... Please...

Hi Gintaras, welcome to the forum,
you will need to get the previous owner to remember the password or another option would be to contact Lenovo service with a view to obtaining a new mainboard for your system.

An anyone help me to find the difference and relation between the following

Hi,
can anyone help me to find the difference and relation between the following methods of Swing :
a) validate()
b) invalidate()
c) revalidate()
d) repaint()

You'd be far ahead by opening up the API and Java turorial and your course book and learning for yourself, rather than, asking other to do your homework for you.
But if you have andwers already to go, then post them and ask if you have drawn appropriate conclusions.

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.

[Solved] Problems with MSI GP60 2OD-410XFR

Hello everyone,
First of all sorry for my english.
Here it is, my problem. I bought one new laptop gaming notebooks (MSI GP60 2OD-410XFR), and i've got some problemes.
1st time i turned it on, it displayed two lignes exactly like this :
" Checking media presence
No media present "
Then, i searched the problem and the solution in internet. Some guys told me that i should change Boot mode devices: from UEFI to LEGACY. I did it but one more new problem has displayed:
" Intel UNPI PXE-2.0 (build 083)
Copyright (C) 1997-2000 Intel Corporation
For Atheros PCIE Ethernet Controller v21.1.2(09/06/12)
Check cable connection!
PXE-MOF : Exiting Intel PXE ROM
Reboot and select proper Boot device
or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot deviece and press a key "
After that, i tryied to install Windows 7 because i think that Windows has not installed (because normally, logo Windows will be labeled on laptop if we've got one,and on mine has nothing) . But unfortunately, the blue screen has displayed after windows is loading files:
" Stop : c000007b {Bad Image}
....\system32\basesrv.DLL is either not desingned to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the programme again using the original installation on media or ..... "
Does anyone know what happened to my laptop and can you tell me step by step what i have to do to resolve them?
Thank you very much and sorry for my english once again.

Hello,
I can reply you in french if you want, because yu buy a NB sell in France, I believe you speak FR
About your NB, you buy one without operating system, so it's normal you don't start Windows.
The message about PCE are normal too because it's about the NB try to boot from network, so don't worry about that.
The only problem are fact you get blue screen when try to install Windows 7, look like your DVD/USB key are not good.
What do you use exactly and do you have another one for try and see if not link to your image are not good ?
