Vista - How do i know hyper-v works ?

I installed the standalone hyper-v on a 64bit intel hardware

At the bios :

enable : VT

But the "Execute Disable bit." was not found. Can i assume this is DEFAULT
with VT ?

It depends on CMOS / BIOS vendor, etc. - I wouldn't assume anything. The
easiest (and most definite) way to confirm this is simply to install the
Hyper-V Role, create a basic VM and start it up. If all goes well, you
definitely know that your settings are correct and that Hyper-V VMs will run
successfully.

Hope this helps,

I totolly agree with Ryan.

In addition there is a tool (1 file executable) that can be very
helpfull which is called "securable.exe". Google it, run it, it tells
you about the virtulization-cababilities of your sytem.

I've managed to install hyper-v and start images.

However when i run the "securable.exe" tool, it shows following results

1. 64 bit - max length
2. hardware dep : yes
3. Hardware virtualisation : NO or LOCKED ON (depending on the hardware i
run)

What does item 3 means for NO or LOCKED ON ?

Because in Hyper-V you're essentially running the tool inside a
"virtual" partition, albeit the parent partition.
Inside a VM there is no virtualization , so this tool reports no
virtualization.

It should be useful to use securable.exe for the 1st time BEFORE you
install the hyper-v-role.
