    Hi all,

    I've just received my S13P and have not been able to get virtualbox running because of vt-x seems to be switched off. I can't for the life of me find how to get into the BIOS to enable it. Have tried pressing F2, holding F2, Del, the Assist key, nothing works. Any ideas?

    many thanks,

    Trev

    thanks so much for the reply Bakuf. That did the trick. Man but that's one cut down BIOS but at least I could enable virtualisation! Virtualbox is running Ubuntu now ;-)
