Hello everybody,
I installed ESXi 5 on virtual box 4.1.8, and I tried to install windwos 2008 r2 64bit on the ESX , but I couldn't, I got a message says: 64-bit operation is not possible.
My PC has I5 processor and the host OS is windows 7 64-bit and the VT-x/AMD-V option in virtual box is enabled.
I don't have any experience in vmware so please help me.
VirtualBox does not virtualize VT-x/AMD-V, so 64-bit nested guests are not possible under VirtualBox. If you are looking for a free product to do this, you can use VMware Player 4.0.
Thank you so much.
HI
You can also use Vmware Workstation 8 to run ESXi5.0
It works on my laptop.
