Getting Windows 2008 to start Hyper-V on a PowerEdge 2800
Is there any way to get Hyper-V to start in Windows 2008 on a PowerEdge 2800?
I keep getting a message saying that the hardware-assisted virtualization should be enabled in the BIOS. Now, this PowerEdge has 2 Xion processors, and the Intel Xion does support virtualization, but I cannot find the flag anywhere in the BIOS. I've upgraded the BIOS to the latest version (A07), still without success...
The Dell Support site does report "Windows 2008 x64" as a supported OS for the PowerEdge 2800, so I hope I'm just missing something easy somewhere!
Thanks,

The 8th gen servers (e.g. 1800, 2800, etc) support x64, but not VT, so it's not possible to use Hyper-V on those.
