Intel VT-x error in VMware

Hi all, okay this is my first time to use VMware so i getting this error when i wan't to boot Mac on my Windows 7 64bit

"Mac OS X is not supported with binary translation. To run Mac OS X you need a host on which VMware Workstation supports Intel VT-x or AMD-V."

Program says that my CPU is not supporting Intel VT-x but on Intel's page it's says that CPU supporting VT-x technology

EDIT:   I enabled Vt-x in Vmware program and it's says next:

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.

My CPU is:  Intel Core i5   650     3.2 Ghz, but in bios there is no option to enable VT-x

My workstation is HP Z200

Hi user

There is a bigger issue here, OSX is not supported with VMware Workstation and you are even breaking Apples EULA if you manage to run OSX on a non-apple hardware platform.

If you want to virtualize OSX then you need to do it on Apple hardware and with some software that supports it. (VMware Fusion for example.)

What does that have to do with the question?

Linjo quite correctly pointed out that the OP is attempting to breach Apple's Software License Agreement, to which the user must agree in order to use OS X, and such discussion is in breach of the VMware Community Terms of Use Section 4f: We can't (and won't) help users break a third party license agreement.

Thanks,
