Crodino,
As I pointed out in my first post VT technology is only applicable to XP Mode in Windows 7 and, as this is a separate download for Windows 7 it has nothing to do with the issue. So what you are saying is that Windows 7 32 Bit 'will' install on Virtual Box but the 64 Bit version of Windows 7 'will not'? I have read posts where people have said that Virtualbox doesn't support Windows 7, built we have both installed Windows 7 on Virtualbox so that is somewhat of a myth. Virtualbox is also 32 Bit and 64 Bit compliant so I'm puzzled as to why the 64 Bit version will not install, it certainly hasn't anything to do with your processor not having VT technology. Let me download the 64 Bit version from myself and try installing it on Virtualbox and see what happens. Incidentally my machine also does not support VT. -- -- John Barnett MVP Windows XP Associate Expert Windows Desktop Experience Web: http://www.winuser.co.uk Web: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org Web: http://vistasupport.mvps.org Web: http://www.silversurfer-guide.com The information in this mail/post is supplied "as is".

John Barnett MVP;1061228 Wrote: Crodino, So what you are saying is that Windows 7 32 Bit 'will' install on Virtual Box but the 64 Bit version of Windows 7 'will not'? No, now I try explain better. Initially I had only Win7 64 bit so I've done every test with it and no one sw has worked until VMWare tells me that my problem is the 64 bit version so I've downloaded the 32 bit version and VMWare has created a virtual Machine with Win7 32 bit. Then I haven't tried other SW (like VirtualBox) because I'am almost satisfied, not completely because I'd like create a USB drive win7 (32 or 64) bootable even though finding on internet some people says that it's possible (by Blacktool, Vistape, PWboot....), other no. If you can help me I thankful you. Best Regards -- Crodino |

As was pointed out, you will need a system that has VT enabled and accessible to run the virtualized WindowsXP inside of WIndows7. That being said, you should be able to run Windows 7 RC inside a VM just fine, provided the VM thinks it is installed on a set drive and not a removable one. You can also get Windows 7 to boot from a .VHD file if you aren't hosting it in a virtual machine (VMware, VirtualBox, VirtualPC, etc). Beyond that, make sure the version you are installing matches whatever limitations your Virtualization software has. If you still have issues getting it installed or working, try posting on the official Windows 7 RC Support Forum located he http://tinyurl.com/9fhdl5 It is supported by product specialists as well as engineers and support teams. They are pretty quick to answer questions, and many questions already have answers and fixes if you poke around a bit. -- DataCabbitKSW |
