• Enable VT-x / AMD-v in the host BIOS and in the virtual machine. Boot times will be ten times or longer without VT-x / AMD-v enabled. • If booting from a physical CD and the first phase takes a lot longer than 30 seconds, you will need to use a faster CD reader. • Boot from the ISO image in a virtual machine and use local attached storage. • Review the recommended settings above. • Double check that at least 1 GB of memory is allocated to the virtual machine. I cannot boot the x64 version of Portlock SMART Suite or the Portlock Boot CD in a virtual machine. • The host operating system must be a 64-bit version. • VT-x / AMD-v must be enabled. • PAE / NX must be enabled. • At least 1 GB of memory must be assigned to the virtual machine.
