Hi
Forget to mention that you can run Windows 32-bits VMs
Take a look at this KB from VMware

Which exact HP DV5 model do you have? (it's on the sticker underneath - it'll be something like DV5-1032eg) The DV5 line apparently comes in a very wide variety of models.
Looking at the 1032eg model (which I picked because it has the processor you specified), the Setup utility shows a System Configuration page which has an option for Virtualization Technology (enable/disable).
See page 107 of this manual: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01550108.pdf
The manual does say "some menu items may not be supported by your computer" which is why I ask for the exact DV5 model number.
The latest BIOS for the 1032eg is F21A - I presume that's what you have, and just left the A off when you typed it. If not, check if there's a newer BIOS for your model.

Hi
@AlanJayWeiner regardless the BIOS version, or LAPTOP model, if the CPU is Intel P7350, this CPU is not VT supported. So will not work.

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
If you CPU doesn't support VT, you can only run Unix based VM's

The Truth hurts.
Sometimes some LAPTOP brands remove the VT enable from BIOS(Acer is one example), but in your case the problem is the CPU itself.
P7350 is not a VT-x enable.

So you cannot use nested VMs to work with.
