Hi,
I did have this error but not now thanks to this thread.
I dont know if anyone has come across this but here goes:
I have acer aspire 9920g with Intel core 2 duo (T7700) with VT-x. ( no VT-x/ept)
The origional or most recent acer bios did not have a CPU or VT enable category so I installed a modified bios from notebookreview.com.
This new mod bios allowed me to enable VT and I thought that would be that.
I installed windows 7 ultimate x86_64 and then installed ESXi 5.
I then created a new vm and enabled VT-t only and boot from ESXi 5 .iso file.
I got the VT-x/ept is disabled message as my CPU dosent support EPT. Thats fine....
But when I continue I get the attached message saying "hardware virtualization is not a feature of the cpu or is not enbled in the bios".
I have checked and rechecked (enable/disabled) VT in the bios and Im now stuck.
Has anyone come across this issue and I apologise if this is the wrong thread
