Hi,
On a brand new Sony Vaio (VGN-FW21Z) VT is disabled and there is no bios
option to enable it (on my Dell XPS laptop thankfully one can enable VT
in the bios).
Can Sony's stupidity (or should I say my own stupidity for purchasing
from that brand) be worked around to enable VT?
Apparently some have used hex editors on bios images with success, but
each model is a specific case I suppose. Or is there a way to find the
location of the VT setting in a bios image?
If you are able to disassemble and reassemble the bios (most likely this
involves decompression, recompression, and writing a checksum, the code
writes to msr MSR_IA32_FEATURE_CONTROL (0x3a). Nopping out writes to
this msr will allow VT to be used. Any mistake will likely brick the
machine, so be sure to have at least a dozen if you want to experiment.
