    Hey everyone, I just got done installing Windows 7 and so far, very happy. To avoid possible compatibility issues, I created a dual boot (XP). I understand that Windows 7 has an "XP mode" but needs virtualization to be enabled in the BIOS. I tried searching the forums and didn't really find anything very useful. So I was wondering if anyone can tell me if and how to enable virtualization on my NP9262 so that I can try out "XP mode". Depending on the results, I may be able to delete my XP partition (which I would ultimately like to do). Thanks!

    Nevermind, just go to the advanced tab in the BIOS and enable "virtualization".

    I wanna add one more thing... You have to shut down the computer COMPLETELY after doing this (ie power off). Simply rebooting will not allow the change to take effect.
