Running Windows Server 2008 on an Acer Aspire 5100
Hi everyone!
I've installed Windows Server 2008 on my laptop. An Acer Aspire 5100.
I've managed to install Hyper V to run virtual machinnes, but when I try to start my newly created XP-machinne I get an errormessage saying something like this:
"The virtual machine could not be started because the hypervisor is not running"
A friend of mine pointed out that it could be something with the powersettings in BIOS, but I couldn't find anything in BIOS to change.
So I decided to update my BIOS from 2.30 to the latest 3.13. But when I try to flash it I get the following message:
cannot load driver
C:\Windows\Temp\WINPLASH\P
Please check your accounts, if you have no administrator
privilege, please login agai!
the driver has been blocked from loading
Error code: 1275
Can anybody help me with this? I have access to all versions of windows through Technet incase I need a XP-CD or anything else!
I can add that this is just to try out Server 2008, that's why I will try it out on my laptop!

The Hypervisor will only start if the processor supports Intel-VT or AMD's equivalent technology (I can't remember its name off the top of my head). Depending on the model of your notebook, your processor may not have the technology support.

Acording to this link the processor should support AMD-V
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_Turion_microprocessors
My computer has one the following processornumber:
MK-36/MK-38/TK-53/TL-50/TL
I don't know wich one it is, but all have support for AMD-V

My CPU is of the TL-50 model, wich means it has support for Virtualization.
But I can't find anything on how to enable it in BIOS. I uploaded some pictures of my BIOS that I took right now.
There isn't much I can change there...
Maby an flash of BIOS will help, but as mentioned in the original post I get an errormessage when I try to flash.

Well, after talking to acers support (like talking to a wall) I've decided to give upp.
There's no way that you can get any info from them ^^ So I'll split the points betweene you and run my server on another computer that I put together this weekend!
