I have Ubuntu 12.04 installed on my machine. I also installed Virtualbox so that I can run windows 7.
I set my virtual box with 4 GB RAM and 25 GB virtual HDD and after I press Start, it doesnt boot from the windows dvd in the optical drive, but instead i get this error:
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine win7.
VT-x features locked or unavailable in MSR. (VERR_VMX_MSR_LOCKED_OR_DISABLED).
Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: Console
Interface: IConsole {1968b7d3-e3bf-4ceb-99e0-cb7c913317bb}
Do you have any idea what is it and how I could overcome this?
Thank you!

You must enable hardware virtualization in BIOS
