    I`m very happy to have found a way to enable VT.

    If you doenst know what VT is - YOU DONT NEED IT ^^

    At first i was a little bit afraid, to take the risk to hack the Bios, but finally i take it.

    Not only VT works now fine, also the advanced Bios Setup Screen, let me finetune everything i ever dream from. You could tweak many things, dont do there anything, if you doent know what you do.

    Ok, back to Topic:

    After some Internetresearch i found this link:

    http://feature-enable.blogspot.com/2009/07/enable-vt-on-insydeh2o-based-sony-vaio.html

    Please follow the instructions exactly. I have do also the same reverse for testing - you could go back, if you want.

    But: with every Bios tweaking - you lose your warranty.

    Here my Statement on this Blog. PLEASE, look there there if your Model is supportet - FIRST.


    Please do this Thread Sticky.

    I wrote above 10 Mails to Sony Support, they dont help me...

    Some other Sony Models, and other Brands have enabled VT too - read the blog

    HowTo

    Format a USB-Stick with Fat32, Download the small File, and copy it to the Folder like described.

    Boot, and follow the Description in the blog.

    None. It has an InsydeH20 EFI with a BIOS emulator, not a BIOS.
