Information from the link worked perfectly. Thank you.
Machine was completely rebuilt in April, Graphics card fried the PSU. So a new bios was installed, and the OS re installed. The SSDs were completely wiped, during the failure.
I did not go through the bios settings. :(

Glad you got it going. It would have been the same thing if you went first in the forums, so please remember that next time. ;)

Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
Please go thoroughly through the FAQ: I have a 64bit host, but can't install 64bit guests. Those are guidelines, you have to use your judgement...
BTW, it's usually better and faster, if issues get first addressed in the VirtualBox forums, a lot more eyes there. More than 95% of the issues are resolved over there, which keeps the developers focusing on the bug fixes and enhancements, and there is no need for another ticket to keep track of. For example, yours is not a bug and someone from the developers has to deal with it and close it as "Invalid".
