Virtual Machine Problem [Vt-d]

HPTL7 · 9 Feb 2016 at 22:20

Hi
I am trying to setup a virtual machine. However I am getting error messages in regards to Intel Virtualization Technologies and VT-d
I checked my bios and Intel Virtualization Technologies is enabled, however VT-d is disabled and there is no way to enable it.
Am I screwed?
Thanks.

Silly question but are you running a k series CPU? If so virtualisation technologies are not enabled. If not a k series CPU ignore me and I hope you find the solution soon.

Thanks for the reply.
I am Not running k series.
It is i3 4330.

Don't think i3 115x CPUs (and 115x in general other than the higher model non-K i5/7) support VT-d. (Hence one of the reasons I'm on the X79 platform).

VMware player doesn't need VT-d so there's always that if you need to run 64bit guests.

Unfortunately this:

Indicates that that processor does not have VT-d technology.

You probably don't need it - turn it off in your virtual machine software.

Well, I updated my bios and voila.
Everything works fine.
