Hi guys...My backtrack says that:"This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU... blah blah blah" the problem is that I have windows 8.1 64 bit and I couldn't find the BIOS thing that can make it work so help please!!!!
Note: I'm using VM Virtualbox

>>4 If your processor supports x86_64, go into the bios and enable virtualization. Then go into virtualbox and enable IOApic.
Then go to the processor-acceleration tab and enable stuff.

Or, you could just use 32 bit backtrack. Most virtualbox setups don't allocate enough RAM to really need 64 bit anyways.

>>6 Different BIOSes will name it differently. If you're using UEFI, You're on your own finding it. It may also be called AMD-V or VT-X.

Here is a video I found on youtube about it:

Also, make sure that the distro itself is properly designated as "Other Linux 64 bit" in the general info section, or you'll have the same problem.
