Enabling Execute Disable Bit Makes VirtualBox not detect Intel Hardware Assisted Virtualization

Description

My System Configuration

  • MB: Asus P8Z77 V-Pro
  • CPU: Intel Core i7 - 3770 @ 3.4Ghz
  • OS: Windows 8 Pro (64 bit)

I am trying to use Virtual Box to install Ubuntu 12.10. The Ubuntu installer failed to launch. The log mentioned that it failed to detect Hardware Assisted Virtualization (HAV).

A look into the BIOS showed the following:

Intel Virtualization Technology - Enabled
Execute Disable Bit (XD) - Enabled

To give it a try I "Disabled" XD.

After that Virtual Box detected that I have Virtualization "Enabled". And the install process went on.

Further I have Hyper-V enabled. I am not sure if these two technologies are conflicting.

Please attach a VBox.log file for the case where the installation of your Linux guest fails.
