How to Enable Intel-VT on Sony Vaio Laptops with Insyde H2O EFI BIOS
A while back I wrote this blog post about how to enable Intel-VT (hardware assist virtualization) on the Sony Vaio notebooks which are shipped with EFI BIOS, and noted that the procedure would not work for the Insyde H2O release notebooks.
Well today, I write with some good news for owners of the Insyde H2O Sony Vaio notebooks, its now possible (through a BIOS hack) to enable this feature and there is a nice little app available to do this.
Thanks to Berhard Froemel for coming up with the fix and posting the detailed walkthrough of how to do this on his blog.
I can definitely vouch for the tool and is functionality as my boss has run it on his notebook and is now able to run 64bit virtual machines on his Vaio VGN-Z series without any hassle, however, running the tool on your notebook is still a calculated risk which you is your responsibility.
