No hardware-assisted virtualisation :( [Archive]

Hey, I'm running x64 Windows 7 Ultimate. My processor is the Intel Core 2 Quad 8800. Now, it says it doesn't have hardware virtualisation on Intel's site. Now, my issue is that I want to run a virtual PC, and with the new Windows Virtual PC it wont let me because my CPU doesn't have hardware virtualisation... fair enough, but when I was running x86 Vista I could run Virtual PC 07 and use virtual machines... so what's up?

I've tried running Virtual PC 07 and it wont let me due to "compatibility issues".

So what's going wrong... my CPU hasn't changed since 32bit vista. :S Any help would be great.

Try a 32bit OS as a VM guest.

I've had one of these and sold it, because, as people have said, ts not 64bit compatible - shame really.

Is it enabled in the BIOS?No idea, I've not changed the BIOS though since it worked.

Huh? The 8200 is 64bit compatible, but has no hardware virtualisation.

you tried using VirtualBox? that doesn't require hardware virtualisation afaik.

You should only need the Hardware Virtualisation when using XP mode :/

After I posted I tried that and it worked. :D Yay.

I can't even create a new machine with Virtual PC. :S Ah well, VB does the job.

Or when I (personally) am virtualising Server 2003, 2008, Ubuntu, Fedora, Smoothwall, or any other systems...
