XP Mode installation--enabling Hardware in BIOS
After several days of trying, I finally managed to get a functional Windows system and installed 7 Pro as a dual boot with 7 Home Premium. I bought 7 Pro because I wanted XP mode to play a bunch of old games that are not supported beyond XP. I still have my XP disks, and could install it as another OS just to play those games, but if I can get the XP virtual machine I'd much rather do that. The software is still available from Microsoft.
Any way, I found your tutorial on how to install and set XP Mode up, got the hardware virtualization compatibility tool, ran it, and it came out "virtualization hardware not enabled". The tool link for instructions simply go to general current Microsoft help. I have an ASUS P5G41-M LE/CSM motherboard, and I still have the installation disk for it. I went to the BIOS setup, and didn't find anything that looked promising. There is nothing in my onboard help on XP Mode that comes up when that is typed in.
Things have certainly changed a lot in the Windows/Microsoft world since I used to spend days in KnowledgeBase when running 95 and 98.
