I am trying to create a VM for Windows Server 2008 (64), I am using Intel I7 and have 'Virtualize Intel VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/RVI' checked.
I am getting this error:
Preferred mode unavailable. Using binary translation instead.
This host supports Intel VT-x, but Intel VT-x is disabled.
Intel VT-x might be disabled if it has been disabled in the BIOS/firmware settings or the host has not been power-cycled since changing this setting.
(1) Verify that the BIOS/firmware settings enable Intel VT-x and disable 'trusted execution.'
(2) Power-cycle the host if either of these BIOS/firmware settings have been changed.
(3) Power-cycle the host if you have not done so since installing VMware Workstation.
(4) Update the host's BIOS/firmware to the latest version.
Thanks for any help!
