Trying to install Windows7 on Virtualbox on F25 using
en_windows_7_ultimate_x86_dvd.iso and I get the following error message;


VT-x is disabled in the BIOS for all CPU modes (VERR_VMX_MSR_ALL_VMX_DISABLED).


Result Code:
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component:
ConsoleWrap
Interface:
IConsole {872da645-4a9b-1727-bee2-5585105b9eed}


What am I not doing right ?

It looks like you need hardware virtualisation enabled, if your BIOS supports it.

Which host machine are you running on (make and model)?

Do you have virtualisation enabled in your BIOS (VT-x for Intel, AMD-V for AMD)?

Can you please run:

$ egrep -w 'vmx|svm' /proc/cpuinfo

Thanks.

Do you have virtualisation enabled in your BIOS (VT-x for Intel, AMD-V for AMD)?

how do I enabled those in the BIOS

Boot up into your BIOS and have a look through all the options for an "Intel VT-x" or "Virtualisation" option (it is really difficult to be precise as this differs between BIOSes and you neglected to answer my "Which host machine are you running on (make and model)?" question that may have helped me determine which BIOS you're using).

HP Pro PC

00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Core Processor DRAM Controller (rev 18)
Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 2a9c
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0
Capabilities: <access denied>

I think I found in the BIOS under the heading of Power and I had to Enable Virtualization Technology to enable VT .

Thanks much for your help.

Great. Glad you were able to resolve the problem. Enjoy running your VM!

hydrurga, where does Vitualbox get the Windows OS to install.

Now I will get to setup my Drone with the Windows App.

Oh BOY !

I don't have a product key for Windows , what do I do know ???

Did you ever have Windows 7 running on that PC? If so, you can use the product key from that, if you still have a note of the key, or you can extract it if Windows 7 is still installed.

If not, you can use a product key (retail-purchased Windows, not OEM-included) from any copy of Windows 7 that is no longer being used (an old machine you have lying around or perhaps one of a friend/colleague of yours?).

Failing that, you'll need to buy one (check out e.g. Amazon but look out for the customer reviews, ensure that you match the key to the version of Windows 7 you are using in the VM, and don't pay over the odds).

Well i strick out on all those points, but thanks.
